Vlora Independence Museum

The Albanian city of Vlora is a typical resort town - picturesque nature and seascapes are combined with numerous architectural monuments that cover a vast historical period: from antiquity to the Middle Ages.

In addition to its numerous historical monuments, Vlora is famous as the city where a fateful event in the history of Albania took place. In fact, Vlora is the cradle of Albanian independence and the first capital of the new state, since in 1912 it was here that the decision of the Assembly of the Convention on Albanian independence was proclaimed. Thus, the country was freed from the yoke of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled Albania from the XV century. In addition, it was in Vlore that the first independent government was created. More details about the glorious pages of the history of the city and the country can be found in the National Museum of Independence. This is one of the most popular museums of Vlora.
