      Himarë is a bilingual town in Southern Albania along the Albanian Riviera and part of the Vlorë County. It is the largest settlement and the seat of the municipality of Himarë.
      Himara has an ancient Albanian culture and an autochthonous Albanian population that preserves the traditions and customs of this area from ancient times. It is especially distinguished for songs with many voices (polyphonic), for paved dances and traditional costumes for occasions of joy. Himara mourning is also heard throughout southern Albania. Literature and arts are also developing in Himara. Petro Marko - one of the masters of Albanian language and literature was from Dhërmiu, Himara.

      Himara opened one of the first Albanian schools around 1160-1161 and then continuing in 1660-1661 by Onufër Kostandini, a prominent Albanian of that time, despite the harsh conditions of the Ottoman occupation. Efforts to continue the Albanian school were carried on by others, such as Zef Skiro (Italian: Giuseppe Schirò), an Orthodox priest and Apostolic Vicar on a mission to Himara, the prominent Arbëresh of his time. This made Himara one of the first initiators of the Albanian Renaissance.
