A short excerpt regarding builders/architects of Dibra, from the book High Albania by Edith Durham. This specific piece calls the people of Dibra as the best church builders in Malsia.
Edith Durham was an Englishwoman who visited Malesia e Madhe early in the 20th century and eventually fell in love with Albanian culture and costumes and received the title "Queen of the highlands" for her support of the Albanian cause and national identity.
One of the best books I have read on the subject of Albanian History. Its a great travel account and entertaining as a novel. You can purchase it on Amazon.com or find it in a digital form in the link below:
