The Ottoman Hamam, built in the 17th century, is believed to have been either privately owned or part of government-owned buildings along the seaside promenade. It may have been associated with the White Mosque, located 5 meters west of the Hamam, where today’s Bulevardi Epidamn stands. Visitors, through the building’s traces, will discern remnants of the old road to the Durres Castle. Additionally, they will learn about the steam and heating techniques utilized in this structure.
Build through investments by local merchants during Italy’s pre-World War II economic dominance, in 1939, its closure and alteration under the communist regime, and subsequent restoration post-1990s, have upheld its spiritual significance for residents - as sign of resitentance and integration in Islam. Frequented extensively, it stands as a symbol of resilience, reflecting Durres’s enduring cultural fabric amidst shifting socio-political tides.
Together, we will get by the Amphitheater of Durrës, where we’ll delve into its fascinating history. Exploring the coexistence of this urban structure with the city above it. We’ll learn about its excavation in 1966 by the archaeologist Vangjel Toci and the intriguing secrets it revealed. Lastly, we’ll discover the Government Project aimed at restoring the entire Amphitheater, preserving and highlighting its rich historical layers.
Freedom Square, one of the city’s earliest squares, was originally designed as a floral garden in the 1928 First Urban Regulatory Plan. It hosts the Municipality and the Grand Mosque. Visitors will delve into its development history from the Ottoman era to pre-World War II and present times. Through this narrative, they’ll grasp the broad urban morphology of the city, which subsequently extended into the various directions of the once-called Varosh neighborhoods.
Tucked away amidst the winding streets of Durres, the Church of Saint Lucy exudes an aura of timeless grace. In this church, visitors will delve into the history of its construction and encounter key figures in the city’s governance, reflecting on their spiritual significance. They’ll observe the present condition juxtaposed with the past, notably during the communist era when all religious activities were legally banned.
Discovered by archaeologist Vangjel Toci, the Byzantine forum stands as a priceless gem among Durres’s archaeological discoveries. This urban relic serves as a vital link, enabling us to trace and interpret the city’s developmental transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Visitors to this site will gain insight into these urban treasures and explore the artifacts showcased within this open forum, offering a glimpse into the vibrant life of the Byzantine period.
The Roman baths stand as one of Durres’s oldest urban marvels, alongside the Amphitheater and the Byzantine Forum. Unearthed during archaeological excavations in the early 1950s, they now reside on the ground floor of the Durres Palace of Culture. Together, we’ll decipher the architectural layout of the baths, exploring their function and enduring significance as integral components of Durres’s water supply and drainage infrastructure system, shaping the city’s landscape from ancient times to the present da
Durres City Hall, build in 1931, embodies the Italian aesthetic preferences of its time. Notably, its large central balcony, originally used for public speeches in the square, stands out. Following the 1926 earthquake’s destruction of the clock tower, a new public clock was installed atop the new City Hall building. Today, this structure serves as the hub for essential activities of local governance, reflecting its historical significance and enduring importance in the city’s administrative landscape.
