Vlora port city, bordered by the Adriatic Sea, is a modern city. It is the city where the Albanian independence from the Ottomans was proclaimed on November 28th, 1912. It was founded in the 6th century BC under the name of Aulona.

Roman rule remained Patriarchate of Rome until the 8th century AD and then moved to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. It was occupied by the Italians from 1914 to 1920 and during the Second World War from 1939 to the famous and tragic September 8, 1943.

During this war the island of Sazan, located in the Bay of Vlora, became a submarine and naval base for Italians and Germans. Vlora is also the city with the largest number of foreign tourists after Tirana.
