Hadrianopolis: Roman Emperor Hadrian’s Ancient City in Epirus

This valuable archaeological remnant of the Roman period, located only a few kilometers from Gjirokastra, is a must for ancient history buffs

This touristic site preserves the ruins of one of the most important cities of southern Albania during the Roman Empire. Built strategically in the valley of the Drin River near the village of Sofratikë, 11 kilometers south of Gjirokastra, this Roman city extended along approximately 16 hectares of land. Originally inhabited by the Chaonians, this region was once part of ancient Epirus (modern-day Albania)

As its name suggests, Hadrianopolis was constructed during the 2nd century AD by Roman emperor Hadrian, after the burning and destruction of Antigonea. In the 6th century AD, Byzantine emperor Justinian I re-founded Hadrianopolis as Justinianopolis. Now, Hadrianopolis is part of the Antigonea Archaeological Park

Buthrotum (Butrint) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in south Albania with a rich history dating back to Bronze Age, and probably the most important archeological centre in the country where Albanian civilisation can be materially traced in its cultural evolution as reflected on the successive phases of the fortifications of the ancient city

Buthrotum was the capital of the Chaonians on the Ionian Sea and was founded by the Brygians in Bronze Age when Albanian civilisation was at its zenith as a result of increased trade relations with neighbouring cultures such as Mycenae and Hittites, and advancements in the technology of working metals, the invention of which was accredited to the Brygians of Albania

Brygian civilisation ended with Bronze Age collapse, the story of Aeneas transiting via Buthrotum to Italy where he founded Rome belonged to these troubled times

Brygian civilisation revived with the rise of Macedon, reaching its apex with the combined reigns of two of the greatest kings of Europe, Philip and his son Alexander the Great

Buthrotum as capital of Chaonia was part of Epirot kingdom united with Macedon through the marriage of king Philip to Epirot princess Olympia. This was a golden era not only for Albania but for Balkans in general, as reflected in the unprecedented prosperity and development of Buthrotum at the time as one of the most impressive and heavily fortified cities in the region, serving as a strategic and cultural centre in Albanian Epirus

Romans remains are also still visible at the site, along with some of the earliest churches in Europe
