Cronache di Kukes
Kukes was founded in 1957 as a small town in the north-east of Albania, with a population of just 5,000 people. The town's architecture reflects its recent history, with many Soviet-era buildings standing alongside traditional Ottoman-era structures. Kukes has a rich cultural heritage, with a strong emphasis on folk music and dance, and a vibrant community of artisans and craftspeople. The town's proximity to the Kosovo border has also made it a hub for migrant workers and a centre for international aid efforts. Today, Kukes is a quiet and unassuming town, with a strong sense of community and a deep connection to its rural surroundings.
