The residence of Nikolla Manestra, a Category I Cultural Monument, is located in the lower part of the “Goricë” neighborhood in the city of Berat.

The Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage in Berat carried out restoration work due to the building’s poor condition. DRTK Berat took immediate action, focusing on the damaged perimeter wall, windows, and roof eaves.

The initial work includes the demolition, reconstruction, and restoration of the stone wall. The lower part of the wall will be restored using the “shqep-qep” technique. This work requires great care to prevent soil erosion.

Next, the team will restore the eaves (single and double-layered) and replace displaced roof tiles. Damaged windows will be replaced with new ones. The soil removed during restoration will also be cleared.
