Archaeological Treasures

Albania's archaeological landscape spans from ancient Greek colonies to medieval strongholds. This collection features the UNESCO-listed city of Buthrotum and the sprawling Apollonia Archaeological Park, both major hubs of the Greco-Roman era. It includes the Roman Amphitheatre of Durrës, one of the largest in the Balkans, alongside strategic fortifications like the Illyrian Rozafa Castle and the Byzantine-era Petrelë. These sites offer a glimpse into the region's complex history under Chaonian, Roman, and Byzantine rule.
