During the last few years, since the earthquake occurred in Albania on November 26, 2019, considerable attention and assessment have been given to the recovery of historical, cultural, modern, educational, and environmental buildings.

description [EN] The presence of seismically prone areas, like Durres City, always demands greater measures to protect the most important building heritage. During the last few years, since the earthquake occurred in Albania on November 26, 2019, considerable attention and assessment have been given to the recovery of historical, cultural, modern, educational, and environmental buildings. One of the largest cultural heritage programmes funded by the European Union is EU4Culture, implemented by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) in close partnership with the Ministry of Culture of Albania, counting 24 Sites and 8 Municipalities targeted by the program. This research presents an overview of the damages in patrimonial zones in Durres, taken as a strategic value to support the local development and promote new forms of cultural and environmental tourism that allow to reconstruct and recover areas in a harmonious and balanced way, as illustrates the case of the Venetian Tower in Durrës, which was rebuilt in the XV century on Byzantine tower ruins. The restoration and consolidation allow the preservation of this fortification and its safe opening to the public.
