Throughout this year, around 17 thousand local and foreign tourists have visited the museums of the medieval town of Gjirokastër, as district Municipality informs.

The museums of the UNESCO protected town are one of the main attractions to development of sustainable tourism.

A month before, the Ethnographic Museum and the “Kadare” Museum have also been added to the tourist guide of the Castle Museums and the Cold War Museum.

The investments carried out for the restoration of the last two museums enabled their revival to offering the right standards for local and foreign visitors.

“We consider museums to be important centers for knowledge and information about the values ​​of history and tradition as well as the education of new generations. Meanwhile, at the current stage of tourism development, they have even more value as important tourist guide stations”, says the mayor, Flamur Golemi.

In addition to touristic values, the museums operating in the stone city are also centers of care and promotion of the values ​​of historical and cultural heritage.

The Museum of Weapons, Ethnography, etc. have already become well-known museums at both national and international level.
