The U.S. Embassy announced via the social media a new effort to restore and protect the Drino Valley’s stunning monasteries.

Cultural Heritage without Borders (CHwB) Albania will implement the project with financial support from the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) and the World Monuments Fund.

Since 2001, the AFCP has invested more than 1,600,000 U.S. Dollars to preserve Albanian cultural heritage, including the restoration of significant cultural monuments damaged by the 2019 earthquake.

The U.S. Embassy shared a gallery of impressive pictures from a recent visit to the breathtaking monasteries by the Chargé d’Affaires David Wisner and the Embassy personnel.

“We recently visited one of the monasteries, it was breathtaking!” the Embassy said.
