Gjirokastër Restores Cobbled Streets to Preserve Identity

In the city of Gjirokastër, work continues to restore the cobbled streets, one of the emblematic values of the stone city.
Today, the Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro, announced that even during these August days, while most people rest, the stone masters of Gjirokastër are restoring the cobbled paths in the Granicë and Palorto neighborhoods.
Moreover, she emphasized that this project, supported by the Albanian Development Fund, strengthens local identity and improves mobility for residents. At the same time, it facilitates the movement of tourists who increasingly discover Gjirokastër beyond its traditional historic zone.
During the restoration process, the stone carvers respect the traditional construction methods of cobbled streets. In doing so, they add value not only for the community but also for tourism.
Meanwhile, the Municipality of Gjirokastër continues to invest in reviving the city’s cultural resources and heritage.
