Submarine bunker that was built by the Soviets in the 1950s and continued to be operated by the Albanians after breaking with the Soviet Union.
The bay has always been an important military strategic point. On a peninsula there is a fortress built by Ali Pasha around 1800.

Porto Palermo (Albanian also Gjiri i Panormës and Gjiri i Palermos, in German: Bay of Panorma/Palermo) is a protected tectonic bay about six kilometers south of Himara on the coast of the Ionian Sea in southern Albania in the Qark Vlora. It lies on the winding SH 8 coastal road between Himara and Borsh, about 40 kilometers north of the island of Corfu. The bay is located on the so-called Albanian Riviera, the stretch of coast north of Saranda to the Adriatic Sea, which is separated from the hinterland by the steep Ceraunic Mountains.
