The Venetian Tower, a symbolic monument of Durrës, has been transformed into an innovative information center about the ancient city through cutting-edge technology.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared footage today, highlighting how visitors can now experience history like never before via multimedia installations embedded in the tower’s ancient stones.

“The Venetian Tower in Durrës is not only a key historical landmark but also a new hub of cultural heritage. Through innovative technology, it brings the past to life in a unique way,” Rama said.

Part of the Durrës Fortress, the tower was rebuilt in the early 15th century during Venetian rule and stands as one of the strongest fortresses on the Adriatic coast. The fortress has been a protected cultural monument since 1948.

After sustaining damage in the 2019 earthquake, the Venetian Tower underwent careful restoration.

Thanks to the EU4Culture program, the tower now “speaks” through interactive multimedia, offering visitors an immersive journey into history.
