Rruga e Hebrenjve is a historic street in Vlora, Albania, dedicated to the Jewish families who lived here. The name means Street of the Jews in Vlora.

Jewish families found safety among local people and helped shape the city through trade, community ties and daily life. They traded textiles, leather goods and salt.

Many families arrived after their expulsion from Spain, while connections linked Vlora with Jewish communities across the Mediterranean. Corfu and Ioannina were among those connected communities.

During the Second World War, local families sheltered Jewish neighbours, and no Jewish resident of Vlora was handed over or deported. The story is associated with Besa, Albania’s code of honour.

A small monument on the street records surnames of families who lived and survived in this part of the city. The monument keeps their memory visible.

Today, this quiet corner connects modern Vlora with a history of refuge, coexistence and human dignity. The street preserves a link between Jewish heritage and the local Albanian community in Vlora.
