The Onufri Iconographic Museum in Berat continues to attract large numbers of visitors this September. The site remains one of Albania’s most appealing cultural tourism destinations.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images today on social media, showing crowds of tourists exploring the museum’s halls. The scenes highlight the museum’s role as a living showcase of Albania’s cultural heritage.

“Onufri Museum in Berat on a regular September day full of tourists,” Rama wrote.

Housed inside the Cathedral of the Dormition of St. Mary in Berat Castle, the museum is a jewel of Albania’s heritage. It takes its name from 16th-century master icon painter Onufri, famed for his vivid artistic style and the distinctive “Onufri red.”

The collection spans icons, liturgical objects, and artworks from the 16th to the 20th centuries, featuring masters such as Onufri, Nikolla, Joan Çetiri, and Kostandin Shpataraku.

Both local and foreign visitors praise the museum’s spiritual and historical wealth. Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage city, continues to stand out as one of Albania’s most popular cultural destinations.
