Archaeological excavations resume in Finiq

Archaeological excavations in the Finic archaeological park resumed again in mid-September. The joint Albanian-Italian archaeological project has focused its research in the public area of ??the ancient city, where the Forum is thought to have developed in the Roman Imperial period. The Vlora Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage states on its website that the structures that are being excavated by archaeological excavations testify to monumental buildings, which stood on terraces in the sloping area. "The area is accessible to visitors who choose to visit the archaeological park of Finiq. In this park, in parallel with the archaeological excavations, restoration interventions were carried out by DRTK-Vlora, as well as the entire infrastructure of the park was renewed with explanatory and orientation signs. Take advantage of the presence of archaeologists during the month of September and visit the archaeological park of Finiq", says DRTK Vlorë, which has also shared photos during the work that is being done at this time with the archaeological excavations. The ancient city of Finic constitutes a great historical and archaeological value. The ancient city of Phoenicia received national archaeological park status in 2005. Phoenicia has an ancient history. It was the capital of the kaons, while in the 3rd century it became the capital of the entire state of Epirus. The archaeological park of Finiq is located on a hill 283 meters above sea level, 9 km east of the city of Saranda. In addition to the monuments inside the fortification walls, the Finic hill offers visitors an extraordinary experience, thanks to the geographical position from which the Bistrica foothills can be seen,
