In the heart of the Himara coast, beneath today’s villages and alleys, lie the ruins of an ancient city linked to Illyrian-Greek heritage. According to some researchers, modern Himara may have been built on the foundations of this ancient city, preserving parts of its thousands of years of history. The area surrounding the ruins has yielded precious discoveries: ceramic fragments, cyclopean walls, and objects from the Roman and Hellenistic periods, testifying to the rich life and activity of the city in antiquity. Visitors can explore this ancient site, walk between the old walls, and imagine what the city looked like in its golden age. Panoramic views from the surrounding hills make the visit not only a journey into history, but also an unforgettable natural and cultural experience.
