"The city of Elbasan is artfully telling its history and antiquity. In the area of the Fortress there is a monument entitled 'Martyrs' dedicated to the fallen for freedom. The work was done by renowned Elbasan sculptor Vladimir Caridha. According to Caridha, the monument is a self-portrait of an individual, with a window surrounded by railing, showing the state's violence against the individual. 'The space in the middle of the monument signifies the inner part of man, that although physically abused, you cannot get his inner self, the spirit that is always open.' "
