Buthrotum (Albanian: Butrint; Latin: Buthrōtum; from Ancient Greek: Βουθρωτόν, Bouthrōtón) was an ancient Greek and later Roman city and bishopric in Epirus.
In modern times it is an archeological site in Vlorë County, Albania, some 14 kilometres south of Sarandë and close to the Greek border and became a Latin Catholic titular see. It was known in antiquity as Βουθρωτόν (Bouthrōton) or (Βουθρώτιος) Bouthrōtios in Ancient Greek and Buthrotum in Latin. It is located on a hill overlooking the Vivari Channel and part of the Butrint National Park. Inhabited since prehistoric times, Buthrotum was a city of the Greek tribe of the Chaonians, later a Roman colony and a bishopric. It entered into decline in Late Antiquity, before being abandoned during the Middle Ages after a major earthquake flooded most of the city.
Bouthroton was originally a town within the Adriatic Balkanic region of Epirus. It was one of the major centres of the Greek tribe of the Chaonians, with close contacts to the Corinthian colony of Corcyra (modern Corfu). According to the Roman writer Virgil its legendary founder was the seer Helenus, a son of the king Priam of Troy, who had moved West after the fall of Troy with Neoptolemus and his concubine Andromache. The Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus, as does the Latin poet Virgil, wrote that Aeneas visited Bouthroton after his own escape from the destruction of Troy.

"Piedra"
Como quisiera
que en este instante
un hada mala apareciera
para retarla y
que me conviertiera
en piedra, en una piedra
Como quisiera
que aqui en mi pecho
un corazon
ya no sintiera
para evitarle este dolor
a mi alma buena
al cielo exclamo
y le reclamo
Vuelveme piedra
que no deseo un dia mas
sufrir su aucencia
que en cuento llegue hoy
la noche y sus estrellas
ya no me duela
y no lo quiera
Vulveme piedra
para que el tiempo
borre en mi
todas sus huellas
para que sea indiferente
a sus promesas
y ante sus besos
no caiga presa
vuelveme piedra
Como quisiera
que aqui en mi pecho
un corazon
ya no sintiera
para evitarle este dolor
a mi alma buena
al cielo exclamo
y le reclamo
Vuelveme piedra
que no deseo un dia mas
sufrir su aucencia
que en cuento llegue hoy
la noche y sus estrellas
ya no me duela
y no lo quiera
Vulveme piedra
para que el tiempo
borre en mi
todas sus huellas
para que sea indiferente
a sus promesas
y ante sus besos
no caiga presa
vuelveme piedra
una piedra
Vuelveme Piedra
