The largest archaeological museum in Albania, here you can see what all the different civilisations that settled this region left behind. 

It’s just a few steps from the waterfront and was established in 1951, with collections that cover every period from the Ancient Illyrian culture, through the Roman era, Byzantine times and the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

 The Roman items are particularly intriguing and include miniature busts of Venus and stone sarcophagi.
