Restoration teams are improving the infrastructure at Rozafa Castle in Shkodër, one of the country’s most important historical and cultural monuments. Work began around two months ago. Crews have completed the Castle Museum’s façade and are now repairing the cobblestone paving in an inner courtyard.

“We are currently working on the cobblestones in the third courtyard. The museum façade has been completed on the sides facing the fourth and third courtyards. We are working on repointing and consolidating the walls, as well as restoring and filling in the cobblestone paving,” said site manager Denis Vasa.

Restoration teams are also protecting the authenticity of the surrounding walls and other structures by using appropriate techniques. “We must ensure that the old structure and original materials remain as they were. Everything is in order,” said restoration craftsman Lulash Plavnyshaj.

The Albanian Development Fund is carrying out the project to revitalise Rozafa Castle. Alongside restoration work inside the castle, crews are developing parking areas below the site and installing directional signs.
