18 years of Gjirokastra in UNESCO
Gjirokastra

The 18th anniversary of the inclusion of the city of Gjirokastra in the World Cultural Heritage List under the protection of UNESCO has been celebrated with a series of activities in the stone city.

On July 15, 2005, Gjirokastra would become part of the world values ​​listed by UNESCO, making it a special date for the promotion and revival of its construction and architectural elements. The unique museum values ​​of the stone Gjirokastra are presented in the open photographic exhibitions.

Gjirokastra was admitted to UNESCO in July 2005 through a very welcoming and friendly process from all member countries of this organization.

Every weekend, Gjirokastra is full of local visitors and foreign tourists, where the museum center always remains the initial destination, since almost everyone starts their visit from the city's castle. Gjirokastra is a city that constitutes unique evidence of a cultural tradition of life developed in the 14th-19th centuries.

In Gjirokastra, the type of fortified house with a roof made of stone tiles stands out, in perfect harmony with the rocky landscape of the territory where it stands. The flats, a special type in the typology of the Albanian and Balkan dwellings of the late Middle Ages, play an important role in the physiognomy of the city.

It has 56 cultural monuments of the first category, 502 of the second category and many other complexes with historical, architectural and cultural values.

The city preserves the urban planning scheme intact, where each house has special characteristics related to the terrain on which it is built. According to the categories of cultural monuments, the city distinguishes the castle, the Bazaar, cult buildings and residential houses.

The castle, built in the c. XIII, constitutes the genesis of the city, while the bazaar (17th century) located in the center of the city well preserves the characteristics of a traditional bazaar, with consecutive buildings paved with black stone cobblestones.
