Many facts will help you see the lives of Albanians in a different light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The excavated city of Butrint preserves unique cultural elements from the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman civilizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s proceed in order, everything there is to know about the history of the city, succinctly and comprehensively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to myths, the city was founded by Helen, the son of King Priam, who migrated to these lands after the fall of Troy, and named it Bouthroton.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ancient poet Virgil also narrates the story of the city of Bouthroton in his epic poem &#8220;Aeneid.&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These events are said to take place in the 11th century BCE!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excavations have revealed that in the 4th century BCE, the city was surrounded by defensive walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An inscription dating back to the 4th century BCE, found on the wall of the theater, indicates that Bouthroton was an important center for the Greeks on their way to the Adriatic Sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The city reached its peak after being captured by the Romans in 228 BCE and becoming part of the empire.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Butrint became the center of a Roman colony and was included in a program of mass construction of public facilities. Just imagine, there were:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New powerful walls around the city.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Theater.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fountains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermal baths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aqueduct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fall of the Roman Empire marked the decline of the city of Butrint. By the Middle Ages, there were no remaining mentions of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ancient city of Butrint&#8217;s walls underwent extensive rebuilding, possibly by Byzantine Emperor Anastasius at the end of the 5th century. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Ostrogoths and Slavs may have raided the region in the 6th century, but Butrint remained one of the few Epirus cities to survive. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is challenging to determine control during the 7th to 10th centuries. Byzantine and Despotate of Epirus rule alternated until Charles of Anjou took control in 1267. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Byzantines and Despotate of Epirus allied against the Byzantine Emperor, driving them out in 1278. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Angevin control followed, and in 1386, Venice took over Butrint. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ottoman rule began in 1799 until Albania&#8217;s independence in 1912.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/albania\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/butrint-istoria-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"roman cites albania\" class=\"wp-image-2361\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Ancient mosaic on the floor of the Great Basilica.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"\u0433\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0434-\u0431\u0443\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043d\u0442-\u043f\u043e\u043b\u0435\u0437\u043d\u0430\u044f-\u0438\u043d\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0446\u0438\u044f-\u0434\u043b\u044f-\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"City_of_Butrint_useful_information_for_tourists\"><\/span>City of Butrint: useful information for tourists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Butrint is located in the southern part of Albania, 6 km from the border with Greece and 3.5 km from the tourist town of Ksamil.
