mountains and in another part of the true botanical gardens flourish but also in cultural and historic heritage where two
civilizations, East and West are complementing the unique harmony. Prehistoric times, the Illyrian age,
ancient times, the Latin-Byzantine era, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, all of it blends into modern life showing and
proving that true values have eternal duration, together in harmony.
