View of Prizren from Prizren Fortress
Highlight • Viewpoint
Archaeologists found during excavations in 2004 and 2009-2011 that the site had been inhabited by humans since the Bronze Age. Iron Age, Roman and late antique finds were also made. The late antique historian Procopius of Caesarea (500-562) mentions in his work De Aedificiis (Eng. Buildings) within Dardania a fortress called Petrices. The researchers assume that this is the fortress.
Archaeological excavations began as early as 1969 and over time traces of medieval (11th-15th centuries) and Ottoman dwellings were found inside the fortress. The Ottomans also built a hammam, a mosque and military installations. The latter were used until 1912 and since then the fortress has been in a constant process of decay. Individual conservation and restoration work only began in 2008.
