Butrinti, Gjirokastra and Berat are among Albania's thousands of years-old cultural assets carrying “passport” and "U" NESTO, where the country has been dating since 1958.
On the list of masterpieces of oral and non-material culture in the world, among the world's 43 most prominent cultural expressions of peoples all over the world, U n NCO also recorded Albanian South Albanian iso-polphony.
While “Berat” Codices figure in the “World memory”
In October 2014, U n NESCO granted a special status protection to spaces around Ohrid and Prespa lakes. In this way, there will be more protection for this area from injuries thanks to the “border reserve” status received from the U NESTO.
But there are also several other archaeological sites that still stand on the W. NESTO, as are the Tombs of Down Square (1996), the Amphitheater of Durres (1996) and the Ancient City of Apollonia (2014).
