Throughout this area, where trade and the passage of caravans once took place, there were several others as well, but they no longer exist today. Because of the long passage of time and the extreme temperatures the building is exposed to in that area, this guard post urgently needed restoration,\u201d said Ardis Duka, director of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage in Gjirokast\u00ebr.<\/p>\n<p>This monument is expected to become an additional tourist attraction for the area, enriching the offer for visitors who choose to explore the beauty and history of the Zagori Region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this context, and for the development of tourism in that area, this site will become a tourist attraction.
