🎧 Listen to Introduction
Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint was a Greek colony, a Roman city and the seat of a bishopric. It flourished for a time under Byzantine rule, was briefly occupied by the Venetians and was abandoned in the late Middle Ages due to the destruction of the marshes. The area formed the present archaeological site, a treasure trove of relics from various periods of the city's development.
