Butrint (Definite Albanian form: Butrinti; Ancient Greek: Βουθρωτόν, Vouthrotón; Latin: Buthrotum) was an ancient Greek and later Roman city in Epirus. In modern times it is an archeological site in Sarandë District, Albania, some 14 kilometres south of Sarandë and close to the Greek border. It was known in antiquity as Βουθρωτόν Bouthroton or Βουθρώτιος Bouthrotios in Ancient Greek and Buthrotum in Latin. It is located on a hill overlooking the Vivari Channel and part of the Butrint National Park. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Butrint has been the site of an Epirote city, a Roman colony and a bishopric. In 1992 it was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. There are Roman baths, a monument to the Nymphs, and other ancient ruins at this site.
