The Roman Emperors and Danube Wine Route
Belgrade, Serbia

This 360° video with immersive storytelling will guide you through UNESCO World Heritage Site Butrint in Albania. The early settlement of ancient Butrint grew up under the influence of the Greek colony. Julius Caesar passed through here during the Civil War and made it a colony for his veterans, and its colonial status was renewed by the Emperor Augustus. Continued prosperity as a harbour town in the Roman Empire added Roman buildings to the already impressive inventory of Greek architecture. The archaeological site Butrint will amaze you with well preserved architectural remains that include massive fortification walls, Greek theatre with later Roman additions, nymphaeum fountain which was connected to a Roman aqueduct, and marvellous 6th century early Christian basilica with walls standing at their original height.
