Levan is a significant market town and municipality in Fier County, located in the heart of the Myzeqe plain in southwestern Albania. The town has evolved into a thriving commercial center due to its strategic position at the intersection of major national transport axes linking the north with the Albanian Riviera and Greece. Geographically, Levan stretches west of the city of Fier and benefits from the fertile alluvial soils of the nearby Vjosa River, enabling intensive agricultural activities. The region is particularly renowned for its grain production and livestock farming, supplying a large portion of regional needs. A culturally noteworthy aspect of Levan is its ethnic diversity, as the town hosts a significant Roma community that is well-integrated into the local social fabric. In close proximity lie the ruins of ancient Apollonia, one of Albania's most important archaeological sites, making Levan an attractive transit point for tourists. The modern development of the settlement is closely tied to the expansion of the SH4 and SH8 highways, positioning Levan as a logistical hub.
