Ismail Kadare House-Museum

Ismail Kadare House-Museum

The birthplace of Albania's most celebrated writer and Nobel Prize candidate Ismail Kadare has been transformed into a memorial museum. The 18th-century Ottoman kulla-style house preserves objects from the writer's childhood, manuscripts, and photographs. Kadare described this city in his novel 'Chronicle in Stone', which provides a literary context for walking through the old town.
