The decline of the town began with a plundering by the Goths in the middle of the 3rd century AD, but it continued to exist, since Diocletian as part of the province of Scythia, until the early Byzantine period. After being destroyed by Avars and Slavs, Histria was abandoned at the beginning of the 7th century AD.
Since 1914, Histria has been the site of repeated archaeological excavations by Romanian researchers, who uncovered parts of the Byzantine and Roman buildings and penetrated to the earliest Greek layers, dating back to the 7th century BC.
The archaeological site of Histria bears the European Heritage Label.
