    Dajt Castle

    Dajt Castle is located in the terrace of Dajt, 1200 metres above the sea level, in the western slope of Dajt Mountain. To go there you need to follow on a peak on the right side of the road that leads to the field of Dajt from Priska neck. 
    This castle is thought to be one of the castles rebuilt by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527- 566) and belongs to the first half of VI century.
    It has an area of 1.12 hectares and most of it is quite steep. The walls have followed the form of the hill, forming a triangle which is strengthened by three edges with a round tower on each point. The area surrounded by these walls is quite steep and covered by rocks. Wall thickness is relative to the protective qualities of the terrain. Where the terrain is very steep, the wall is thin, while in less steep places, the wall is thicker. 
    The purpose of building this castle was to protect the two hills that are found on either side of Dajti Mountain. Discoveries have verified the existence of a number of dwellings, traces of pottery production and metal melting. Two types of constructions can be distinguished on the walls of the castle: one with large stones, belonging to an earlier Illyrian Castle, and the other with small stones belonging to the late Roman era.
