From the 5th century, Christianity flourished in the city and Butrint got its own bishop. The baptistery and basilica were built in the early 6th century. In 1928 the Italian Archaeological Mission discovered the Baptistery. The mosaic floor, which was created by mosaicists from Nicopolis, is particularly important.[41] For protection, the mosaic is usually covered with sand.

The Roman poet Virgil wrote of a “second Troy in miniature”. Over the centuries, changing rulers left behind stone testimonies of their power.
