Holiday apartment in Bajram Curri – Valbona Valley, culture and mountains

Bajram Curri lies at the foot of Bjeshka e Bisheva and Poni. The city cannot be reduced to a single theme: its character is reflected in its landscape, culture of remembrance, regional traditions and nature experiences.

Culture and history

A statue of Bajram Curri stands in front of the museum in the city. There is also a statue of the freedom fighter at the Martyrs' Cemetery. The city is also home to a bust of the hero Asim Vokshi and the bas-relief of the district's Historical Museum.

The Historical Museum of Tropoja is located in the center of Bajram Curri. The building combines traditional elements of a mountain farmhouse with contemporary details. It was built in 1985, covers 1,300 m² and is divided into eight exhibition halls arranged in a spiral. The museum presents the history, culture and everyday life of Tropoja through traditional costumes, ethnographic objects, work equipment, household utensils and craft tools.

Since 2003, the “Sofra Dardane” Festival has been held every year in Bajram Curri. It brings together artists and folk groups from all regions of Albania.

The Vrella e Shoshanit spring is located 3 km from Bajram Curri, at the entrance to the Valbona Valley. It forms the gorge of the same name, which has been designated a natural monument of the district. The gorge is 2–3 m wide and 50 m deep.
