The acropolis of Butrint was built
The acropolis of Butrint was built on a hill overlooking Lake Butrint. The last and outer wall of the acropolis was erected around 380 BC. Butrint was an ancient Greek polis and later Roman city, serving as the seat of an early Christian bishopric in Epirus. Buthrotum held a strategically important position due to its access to the Straits of Corfu and its location at the crossroads of mainland Greece and Magna Graecia.
