Trajan's fortress, not far from the village of Tren in the district of Devol, is one of the most important monuments of Albanian historical and cultural heritage that, unfortunately, are not recognised by the general public.
It bears the name of an empire of Illyrian origin of ancient Rome, even though its roots date back to the iron period.
This fortress was one of the largest in Iliria's territory, extending to a full of 22 acres [22 ha] while its walls have a total length of 3km, as noted by renowned scholar Gjerak Karaiskayaj in his work “5 thousand years of fortification”.
Trajan Decius is identified as one of the important emperors of ancient Rome, even though his brief stay in power prevented him from fulfilling his history. Emperor Trajan is known for his encounter with the Gotos, whose face was also betrayed. However, history views him as a self - sacrificing chieftain to save ancient Rome. His direction is linked not only to military successes but also to a capable and investment director of many of the objects of then Rome.
Trajan's fortress is located on the hill located northeast of the village of Train in the Devoll area. This is the largest iron - age fortress in our country. It lies in a territory of 23 acres [23 ha] from the top and occupying a territory that included the three - quarters of the hill. The hill is 1200m above sea level.
The southwest part of it is soft until it ascends to the highest area that forms a flat platform suitable for habitation, while the northeast is totally rocky and falls over Lake Prespa Minor.
From materials found in the fort and near it, it has been inhabited in the first part of the Iron Age. In the second iron period, the settlement was abandoned to move a mile farther west to the hills of Gorica.
Late in ancient times, Trajan's fortress was reforified, but it has now been reduced only to the upper part of it. Trajan's castle is preserved in the situation in which no damage has been found at first and has been recorded so far. The fortress was declared cultural monument in 1963.
