Description
In Albania, as time passes, a larger part of the archeological heritage is discovered, but for many places there is still
the need of a deeper exploration and a better musealization. This project studies a single link from the chain of
monuments distributed through Via Egnatia, the antique pathway that connected Western with Eastern Roman
Empire; beginning from Dyrrahu (Durrës, Albania) and ending in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey). The focus of
this research is on the medieval basilica of Lin which is located on top of a rocky appendix over the lake Ohër on the
albanian shore. The basilica features a composition of multilayer constructions from different historical periods and
reaching the climax in the VI century under the Byzantine Empire. Because of its entire pavement covered in
mosaics and its rare chapel typology, the basilica deserved further examination. Today the site lacks a protection
from the weather and a structure that could make possible the access to the mosaics. The research initially consisted
on the survey of the area by including the hill where the site is located because if its unique landscape on the
lakeshore.
