The Civil Code of Albania is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and regulations governing civil matters within the country. It covers a wide range of topics related to personal rights, property, contracts, family law, inheritance, and other civil legal issues.
The Albanian Civil Code, specifically Articles 186 and 187, addresses the protection of cultural heritage by stipulating that movable objects which have cultural, historical, archaeological, and ethnographic value, as well as rare natural objects of scientific importance discovered from the earth or water, become state property. The owner of the property where such items are discovered must allow excavations and is compensated for damages.
