Fortifications beneath the walls of the existing castle, ceramic and metal fragments, and the discovery of a human skeleton in the wall space have laid the solid foundations according to which the development of the Argjiro fortress in Gjirokastër dates back to late antiquity.
Discoveries from recent archaeological excavations in the walls of the Argjiro Castle in Gjirokastër are expected to further enhance the value of this archaeological, historical and cultural monument of our country.
New discoveries of both walls and human and animal skeletons shed light on the existence of fortifications long before the castle walls that exist today, writes A2 CNN.
Archaeological excavations at Argjiro Castle have resumed after almost 30 years. This fortification was first mentioned in documents in 1336 and remains the most visited monument in the stone city, which is now protected by UNESCO. (A2 Televizion)
