Amantia
The ruins of the antique city of
Amantia stand south-east of
the Vlora District, close to the
village of Plloçë. Amantia was
declared an archaeological
park in 2005. It was the capital
city of the Illyrian amant tribe.
It was founded in the fifth cen-
tury B.C. and covered an area
of 13 hectares. The most inter-
esting objects for visitors are
the antique Stadium of Aman-
tia, 60 m long and 12.5 m wide,
and the fortifications.
