Near Ksamil, next to the border with Greece, there is a small archaeological site called Butrint.
This place is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In ancient times, there was a settlement here. Later, the town developed into an important religious center and port town. Its strategic importance led to many battles, during which the city was ravaged repeatedly.
Today we can find there the ruins of defensive walls, an ancient Greek theater, ruins of houses, a baptistry, ruins of Roman baths and a chapel. There is also a fragment of the Venetian castle.
The entire site is fenced and admission is ticketed.
At the entrance, we get a map of the area and leaflets in various languages (including Polish). At various points there are information boards that describe each area.
