TIRANA, September 30, 2025 – Archaeologists in Lezha uncovered new evidence about the city’s ancient origins today.

Scans of the archaeological park show that the Acropolis does not belong to the Bronze Age. Researchers identified fortifications dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries BCE. These structures mark the early urban development of the future city of Lezha.

The working group reviewed the findings in a meeting attended by the mayor, Pjerin Ndreu. He confirmed that the municipality will manage the park and its historic sites. Local authorities will oversee daily preservation and maintenance.

Teams plan to start research expeditions in areas with the highest archaeological potential. The goal remains to establish Lezha as a leading center for archaeological excavations in Albania.
