Albania has had an important role in the history of Venice to the point of leaving cultural traces
that reach to the present day. The most important cities such as Durres, Vlora, Shkodra, Lezha,
Butrinti have been among the cities whose commercial exchanges were very important for both of
these countries. Venice's need to control as many countries as possible, which possessed a diverse
wealth of commercial exchanges, made it possible to conquer the most important places in
Albania, where they also left different cultural traces, such as architectural and linguistic ones,
which reach to the present day today.
During the Ottoman occupation, the Lordship could not rely on its defense either on the amount
of troops or on technological superiority; so it was based on the system of fortified cities that had
taken them around the year 1400. Some of these cities, which were restored from time to time,
continue to be traces of Italian culture in our culture, in which there is very little left to visit since
they did not have a constant care so that their architecture was easy to understand.
A qualitative step was taken in the Venetian era also in terms of legal relations. As long as Balsha
and the Serbian despots, these powerful neighbors, used Slavic as the language of their
documents, the Venetian authorities had no choice but to translate all the texts into Latin or
Venetian
