Summary/Abstract: It was not only due to the nice Albanian tradition of hospitality, but also due to several other reasons that the presence of this special gathering in the Albanian people’s culture, recognized in various regions as “Statesmen’s chamber”, “the council of the wise men”, “the decent council”, became of indispensable need. It was in this council that the guests of miscellaneous levels and degrees were hosted and welcomed, the generations were educated, the conflicts and feuds among families or within the village were properly addressed and resolved.Considering the functions of this council and the Albanian aspiration to manifest a strong sense of family as crucial to their culture, the process of settling or projecting this council’s building demanded that it be situated in a safe and well-protected location within a dwelling-house; therefore, there was a great attention shown with respect to its furnishing in line and perfect harmony with the common traditional tastes pertaining to the various Albanian regions.
