"Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint has been the site of a Greek
colony, a Roman city and a bishopric. Following a period of prosperity
under Byzantine administration, then a brief occupation by the
Venetians, the city was abandoned in the late Middle Ages after marshes
formed in the area. The present archaeological site is a repository of
ruins representing each period in the city’s development." -http://whc.unesco.org
