A Sufi shrine in an unassuming building, dedicated to the female Bektashi saint Dervish Hatixhe Skenderi (1798-?), Tirana's own Florence Nightingale who nursed people through a bubonic plague epidemic. After her death, this tekke was founded near her grave, which miraculously survived the Hoxha regime hidden below concrete floors, with worshippers risking their lives by secretly visiting. It still visited by people of different faiths, especially women. A corridor leads past a soot-blackened candle room to where the graves of Hatixhe, members of her family and a former servant can all be seen.
