In 1902, the brothers Mura and Ali Biceri, along with Met and Mustafa Meme, discovered a trove of treasure nestled in a field not far from Vrap, a remote village outside of Tirana. Where it came from, who it belongs to, and what happened to it are topics that remain mysterious and subject to many theories, but one of the common ideas is that it dates from the 6th century and belonged to the Avars of Obrai, the Bulgarian Slavs who at one time were present in the area.

Mamurras is not known for much, but when I have heard about it, it has often been in relation to murders or crime. Considering most of Albania is safe and crime-free unless you are a drug dealer or trafficker, you must have worked quite hard over the years to get this reputation, considering its small size and relative obscurity. It came as no surprise to me then that my reason for visiting Mamurras was to track down the location of a century-old murder, long solved but still shrouded in mystery.

A short drive out of Korce, on the long and winding road to Voskopoje, is the small village of Gjonmadh. The smooth road twists and turns through the countryside, rising through the bushes and trees, stripy fields full of corn, flowers, and fruits, and large cliffs that rise and fall on either side. As you reach the hill’s summit, your eyes are immediately drawn to a large, red canyon on the right. Jagged orange and red rocks protrude from the foliage and descend deep into the valley below.

I am delighted to announce the publication of my third book- Inside Albania. This is a coffee table book with a focus on photography, but also with text that brings you beyond the surface of what Albania has to offer. It will be available on limited release in Albania from 16 May and online from Amazon worldwide. Thankyou to EJAlbum for the design work and publication.
