Karbunarë is a strategically located municipality in Fier County, extending along the eastern slopes of the hills overlooking the city of Lushnjë. The settlement bridges the fertile Myzeqe plain with the hilly hinterland and is historically renowned for its olive groves and vineyards, which define the local landscape. During the socialist era, Karbunarë held significant political weight as it was a site for internment camps for families deemed critical of the regime, representing a somber chapter in local history. Geographically, the elevated position of Karbunarë features wide vistas over the central plains stretching toward the Adriatic coast. Today, the town has evolved into a suburb of Lushnjë, hosting trade and small-scale industries alongside agriculture. The municipality plays a key role in the regional supply of olive oil and fruit, while recent infrastructure projects have improved its connectivity to the national North-South highway axis. Residents maintain a strong awareness of their turbulent history, making Karbunarë a place of both remembrance and modern transformation.
