-------------------------------
Butrint (Albanian: Butrint or Butrinti), the modern name for the Roman city of Buthrotum, is a city and an archeological site in Albania, close to the Greek border.
Originally an Illyrian town, it was taken by the Romans in 167 BC. It was later occupied by the Byzantine Empire and the republic of Venice, before it was abandoned in the Late Middle Ages.
The ruins, excavated after World War II, include an amphitheatre, a Roman bath, a chapel from the 5th century, a basilica from the 6th century, a town gate (called the "Lion Gate"), and a medieval Venetian castle from the 14th century, which is a museum today. The remains of Butrint are included in the UNESCO World Heritage. In 1997 it was added to the list of world heritage sites in danger by UNESCO because of looting, lack of protection, management and conservation. Eight years later, in 2005, the conditions had improved and Butrint was removed from the list of endangered sites.
Butrint is accessible from Saranda, along a road built in 1959 for the visit by Krushchev.
