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 a concrete floor, 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.
