TIRANA, February 28 /ATA/ “Memory Traces” project: Visit a city without a guide”, gathered in Durrës academicians, researchers, archaeologists, historians and cultural specialists.
“Memory Traces” is a project that aims not so much to make the unknown known, but to make visible the invisible, to cast a light into the millennia of civilization of Durres, through identification of events, places and personalities related to it.
Being presented at the Archaeological Museum of Durrës, the project is considered the largest archive of historical and cultural values in the centuries of the city of Durrës. The presentation of the study turned into a cultural-civic conversation between the participants, well-known representatives of the intellectual community of Durrës.
Mayor of Durrës Emirjana Sako highlighted in her speech the significance of certifying the material and spiritual cultural heritage of the city from the beginning until today, not only to inaugurate its assets in national and international lists, but also to promote cultural, religious and historical tourism.
The mayor, also a Socialist Party candidate running in the March 6 by-elections, took the opportunity to mention the EU-Culture project, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, which envisages the recovery of historical buildings damaged by the earthquake of November 26, 2019. “The rehabilitation of the museum works is an added value not only for Durrës residents, but for all visitors and tourists”./p.s./
