New discovery in the city of Amantia: How the Illyrians organized public life

The surrounding wall of the lower city of Amantia, which is thought to have been built in the 3rd century BC and destroyed in the 6th century AD, was discovered during excavations at the Amantia Archaeological Park in Vlora.

This powerful fortification sheds light on the urban and public organization of the Illyrian city, adding a new chapter to the history of this ancient center, authorities say.  

In addition to this discovery, necessary restoration interventions were also carried out to protect the monumental tombs, as well as other conservation works on the monuments identified in recent years, which were affected by climatic agents, such as frost, rain, etc.

New archaeological discoveries, such as the surrounding wall of the lower city of Amantia and other elements of urban organization, along with restoration interventions in monumental tombs and other identified monuments, are continuously enriching the archaeological landscape of the Park.

These excavations and restorations not only bring new facts to the study of the life of the Illyrian city, but also guarantee their preservation and presentation for today's visitors and future generations.
