The “Valmi” park, one of the well-known spaces in the heart of Elbasan, is set to get a new look through a revitalization project, an intervention aimed not only at improving the urban character of the area but also at returning it to use by citizens.
Located in an area of historical importance for the city, the park bears the name Valmi, a designation linked to Elbasan’s early historical memory. Historical sources also mention the name “Qyteti i Valmëve” (City of Valmi), used before the city and its castle were rebuilt in 1466, when the city took the name Elbasan. This gives the name of this space a special element of heritage and local identity.
The project foresees the removal of the old concrete structures and the creation of green islands, transforming the park into a more aesthetic, open and welcoming environment for all age groups.
The intervention, with the Elbasan County Council as the contracting authority, aims to give this space another dimension, combining the improvement of the urban environment with respect for the city’s history and identity.
