The house of the prominent Albanian writer, Ismail Kadare, in his hometown, was the most visited this year.

The apartment of the genius of Albanian letters is much preferred by local and foreign visitors, who have shown interest in his life, work, but also in his traditional house, characteristic of the stone town of Gjirokastra.

The house museum of Kadare was built in 1799 and was declared a cultural monument in 1991. It was opened to the public on January 28, 2018, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the birth of Kadare. Finally, the building has been repaired and rehabilitated under the auspices of UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture.
