In the heart of Pollino National Park

An account of the history and traditions of the Arbëreshë community

The Museum of Arbëresh Culture in San Paolo Albanese preserves the extraordinary heritage of traditions of the Albanian communities that have lived in the Pollino National Park area for over five centuries. The objects, images, stories, songs and films on display at the Museum of Arbëresh Culture offer visitors a moving and unmissable journey through the history and culture of these communities: from the process of working with broom, to everyday objects, costumes and songs.
