A group of Albanian intellectuals, with the help of the merchant and the guild from Voskopoja and Korça, in 1750 established, the “New Academy” in Voskopoja, high school with a program of the most advanced countries of Europe. Most of its professors and teachers were local, who had studied in European universities. They drafted the textbooks that were published in the Voskopoja printing, one of the rarest in the entire Ottoman Empire. Voskopoja and “its new Academy” remained one of the most important centres of the development of art and the Albanian medieval culture. These have strong relations with many European countries and their educational institutions and cultural.
