Por ajo që mbetet akoma është e vlefshme: kjo varrezë historike katolike jep më shumë se një pamje të shkurtër në historinë e vendit. Shumë heronj shqiptarë janë varrosur këtu. Varrezat e Rrmajit janë më shumë se një varrezë: është një dëshmi historike e lindjes së një kombi. Monumentet e tij flasin për lirinë, shpresat dhe aspiratat.

Rrmajit Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery, unique in all Albania. The monumental graveyard boasts a number of medieval burial tombs, catacombs, and other original architectural monuments in more recent styles, such as Jugendstil, Neoclassicism, and so on. The graveyard is interesting also concerning the materials used to build these funerary monuments, which range from basalts, to Syrian granite, Carrara marbles, Murano glass from Venice, concrete and local stones, all embedded in refined and original designs. If there is any evidence of funerary art in Albania, you can definitely find it in the monuments of Rrmajit Cemetery in Shkodra.
Unfortunately, some of the older monuments, and gravestones are missing – traded on the black market by thieves. But what's left is still worthwhile: this historic Catholic cemetery gives more than a glimpse into the history of the place. Many Albanian heroes are buried here. Rrmajit Cemetery is more than a graveyard: it is a historic testimony of the birth of a nation. Its monuments speak of freedom, hopes, and aspirations.
