== Family == [[File:EnverHoxhaHouse.jpg|thumb|Former residence of Hoxha in the formerly restricted area of [[Ish-Blloku|Blloku]] (the Block) in Tirana]] The surname ''Hoxha'' is the Albanian variant of [[hodja]] (from {{langx|tr|hoca}}),{{Sfn|Pipa|1990|p=262}} a title which was given to his ancestors due to their efforts to teach Albanians about Islam.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pashtriku.beepworld.de/dossier.htm|title=dossier|website=pashtriku.beepworld.de}}</ref> Hoxha's parents were Halil and Gjylihan (Gjylo) Hoxha, and Hoxha had three sisters, Fahrije, Haxhire and Sanije. [[Hysen Hoxha]] ({{IPA|[hyˈsɛn ˈhɔdʒa]}}) was Enver Hoxha's uncle and was a militant who campaigned vigorously for the independence of Albania, which occurred when Enver was four years old. His grandfather, Beqir, was involved in the Gjirokastër section of the [[League of Prizren]].<ref>Pero Zlatar. ''Albanija u eri Envera Hoxhe'' Vol. II.

Along with her husband, Klement Kolaneci, she designed the Enver Hoxha Museum in Tirana, a white-tiled pyramid. Some sources have referred to the edifice, said to be the most expensive edifice ever constructed in [[History of Albania|Albanian history]], as the "Enver Hoxha Mausoleum", but this was not an official appellation. The museum was opened in 1988, three years after her father's death, and in 1991, it was transformed into a conference centre and an exhibition venue and it was renamed the [[Pyramid of Tirana]].{{Sfn|Wheeler|2010|pp=49–50}}
