Cassope (or Kassope) was an ancient Greek city with massive polygonal masonry in Epirus and is located in a magnificent and remote site on a high platform overlooking the sea, the Ambracian Gulf and the fertile lands to the south, with the slopes of the Zalongo mountain to the north. It dates back to at least 400 BC but also has Palaeolithic occupation and evidence of an earlier settlement. It was the capital of the Kassopaeans, a sub-tribe of the Thesprotians who belonged to the Aetolian League (a confederation of tribal communities and cities). The stunning Peru-like polygonal walls stretch for 4.5 miles (6KM) across the site, which archaeologists say is Hellenistic style, but this evidence of earlier occupation may have been related to the Danians or the Pelasgians, who in tradition built these types of walls throughout the Mediterranean.
