Construction of the new Multifunctional Centre at Bylis–Klos Archaeological Park is progressing. Tourism, Culture and Sports Minister Blendi Gonxhja expects the facility to be ready within the next year. Work is now focused on reinforcement and structural construction. Earlier stages included technical design approval, authorisations and procurement procedures.

Meanwhile, archaeological research has helped guide the project. Excavations identified and documented around 60 funerary structures. These findings have provided new information about the site’s history and helped ensure that construction respects its archaeological heritage.

Once completed, the centre will provide museum and heritage interpretation spaces, facilities for scientific research and conservation, and areas for cultural and educational activities. In parallel, work continues on supporting infrastructure, including landscaping, parking, and improvements to access and safety throughout the park.

The investment aims to improve the visitor experience and promote the cultural heritage of Bylis–Klos. It forms part of the programme “EU for Economic Development – Tourism-led Local Economic Development, with a Focus on Cultural Heritage”. The European Union and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) co-finance the project. AICS Tirana implements it in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports and the responsible institutions.
