Butrint, The Despotate of Epirus

Butrint has had a great deal more history than its residents would ever have desired. It is now in Albania, but has been invaded by, among others, Ottomans, Venetians, Byzantines, Ostrogoths and Napoleon. From 1204, Butrint was part of the Despotate of Epirus, one of the post-Byzantine states vying for neo-Byzantine supremacy after the Latin conquest. To boost its qualifications for being on this site, here are some Byzantine churches. (39.746497,20.023216)
