Egnazia
Today’s dead and abandoned, ruined city of Egnazia, stretches back 3.500 years. With an original mix of Greek Illyrian settlers and local Messapian inhabitants, it was founded in approx 1.600 BC. Visit the Forum, the Roman Amphitheatre, the religious Shrines and the Basilica. Stroll down to the old harbor still holding traces of its wharves and walls. In the Acropolis itself porticoes surround a Greek Agora, or Piazza of pre-Roman origin. Excavations are ongoing in the still hidden and undisturbed parts of the site, and more relics from the past are constantly discovered.
