Apollonia Archaeological Park, situated near Fier in southwestern Albania, is one of the country's most significant ancient sites. Founded around 588 BC by Greek colonists from Corinth and Corfu, the city was named after Apollo, the god of light and protector of colonists. Strategically located along the Vjosa River, Apollonia flourished as a major trade and cultural center, especially during Roman times. Notably, it was here that Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) studied rhetoric and military strategy at the city's renowned academy.
