Pogradeci

Cities INDEX

      Pogradeci lies on the South Eastern part Albania, lakeshore of Ohrid Lake. It is relatively new town, but with an ancient historical background. The archaeological excavations carried out in the hill rising Northwest above the town figured out the existence of an Illyrian settlement of the 5th century B.G., belonging to the region of Desaret and perhaps Enkelana, which during the following century descended down and settled itself on the foot of the hill and on the shores of the lake.
