“I’m from Nish, Serbia. We share a common history, and I’m truly amazed. We came here and started with the medieval museum, then we’ll visit the Orthodox Cathedral,” shared one tourist.

“We’re from Italy, touring Albania. It’s beautiful with great tourist potential, and the people are very friendly. We came to see the Byzantine and icon art museum and were very impressed. I recommend everyone to visit,” said another visitor.

“This is our first time in Albania. We came to Korça, then we’ll visit Berat, Gjirokastër, and end with a week in Saranda by the sea. We chose to see this museum first because it’s the most important in Albania for icons. A mix of culture and recreation,” noted a tourist.

The museum offers audio guides in English, French, Ukrainian, and Albanian, with Spanish guides currently being developed. The National Museum of Medieval Art in Korça boasts a rich collection of 8,000 items, including 6,500 icons with exceptional historical and cultural value.
