Ancient Village or Settlement in Albania
Ancient 6th Century BCE Illyrian town, later conquered by the Greeks and Roman on Coast of Albania. During the Byzantine and Turkish occupation, the site was taken up by a port. The ancient town was re-discovered in the 19th Century. There are suposed to be the remains of an acropolis and perhaps town walls.
