Fundamental structure of the 1st-2nd century AD! Of course, not as majestic and big as in other places. But it's interesting to see. If the new Albanian government finds the strength and means for further excavations, demolition of private houses, which are now actually grown into the hidden (not excavated) part of the amphitheater, then this will become a noticeable place not only by Albanian, but also by European standards.
