The remarkable fortified settlement of Osdina, mainly known as Ouzdina, in the region of Thesprotia, western Greece, is now opened to public under the name “Archaeological Park of Byzantine – Post-Byzantine Settlement of Ouzdina.”

The settlement flourished possibly during the post-Byzantine period and mainly during the first years of the Ottoman period. Osdina was abandoned, for unknown reason, in the first half of the 18th century.

The abandoned fortress-town of Ouzdina is built on a hill over the exit of the canyon of Kalamas river.

The settlement was restored, highlighted and now constitutes an example of a settlement that survived through the centuries and retains architectural remnants of the classical-Hellenistic up to post-Byzantine period. The settlement is densely built with narrow and cobblestone streets.

The restoration project began in October 2010 and the enhancement works of the settlement were launched in August 2012 and completed in September 2015.
