This park offers a considerable number of archeological sites and is considered a “microbot of Albanian history”.

“In the first 6 months of 2020, the park was visited by 3007 visitors, marking a decrease compared to previous years due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Dhima said.

In her remarks, Dhima said that, in June 2020,  the Butrint National Park was visited by 1539 visitors. While this year it was visited by 5352 visitors, showing a 3-fold increase compared to last year.”

Butrint is today an architectural complex of fifteen areas from different periods that go from the 4th century BC to the 16th century BC. The historical relevance of Butrint is overwhelming and being able to walk in it is a privilege: white stone statues of Octavian Augustus, Agrippa, Antioh, Serapis, Livia Drusila were once erected, as well as the high birthplace of citizens in different times or of Roman generals during the splendor of the empire when the city was called Colonia Augusta Buthrotum. //a.i/
