It is clear that the circular area which extends with a length of 40 m within a colonnade in the center constituted a space used more for formal activities. This market was not designed simply for trading and therefore it is also known as the Byzantine Forum.
The fortified old city of Durrës. It is enclosed by city walls built in the late 5th century, and repaired and reinforced in the middle Ages and early modern periods.

The spring has been known and used since Roman times. Elbasan thermal baths contain scalding sulfur waters, which are created at a depth of about 13000 meters from the earth’s surface, at high pressure and temperature, due to the combination of oxygen with hydrogen and other chemicals. Driven by the high pressure of the gas, they reach the surface through rocky cracks. The water analysis of these springs was carried out in a specialized way by engineers, who identified high therapeutic values. Numerous respiratory tract diseases, nervous system, skin, stomach, etc. are treated there.
