The Tirana Mosaic is becoming an increasingly popular cultural attraction for foreign visitors. Tirana Mosaic is now considered an important educational and cultural destination in the capital.

Director of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage, Kostandin Budurushi, said the site has seen a significant rise in visitors after its restoration.

He said tourists are surprised to find an archaeological site over 1,800 years old in the heart of Tirana. Budurushi added that visitor numbers have increased by about 40 percent.
