The Spaç Prison (Albanian: Burgu i Spaçit) was a political prison in Communist Albania at the village of Spaç. The former prison is listed as a second-category national monument. There were plans to turn the rapidly deteriorating site into a museum,[1] but as of February 2013, no progress had been made at the location. In 1973, a number of prisoners here staged a rebellion where the non-communist flag was raised. In 1984, a similar rebellion took place at the prison of Qafë Bar.[2]
In 2015, the prison was listed by the New York-based organisation World Monument Fund as one of 50 most endangered monuments worldwide. [3]
