A new archaeological center is added to the rich cultural and archaeological heritage of the Korça area. The recent researches of the Albanian-French team have brought to light the first archaeological evidence of a hill settlement above the village of Barç, which is known by the locals as “Barç Castle”.

The researches have revealed architectural traces of different periods, indicators of continuous habitation in this place during the Iron Age and the Illyrian Civil Age, about 2800 years ago.

The researchers engaged in the project will bring data from different aspects of the life of the community located in this settlement, which offers another tourist potential for the region of Korça and beyond.
