                                          HISTORY Of SKRAPAR

 


Settlements Skrapar population itself has historically built primarily on a deep mountainous terrain . Most of them have been concentrated in the valley of Osumi . Higher density dwellings have been areas Osumi left arm , which seemed to offer better natural conditions and more economic opportunities for livelihood . While a small part of the settlements were built along the river valley Tomorrica ( left branch Devolli ) , which has taken the name of the province . From the data it appears that in areas deritansihme Skrapar are observed trace of civic life since ancient times . The key is that this life is not disrupted almost never achieve complete until our days . Location of ancient settlements in Korce evidenced by numerous archaeological data . So far , in this province were discovered over 20 settlements with great value for the study of the Illyrian culture of this region and beyond . The fund's largest archaeological data has helped researchers conclude that human life has begun to appear since X millennium BC . Important findings that indicate an earlier period citizens are found at a residence Vlushës prehistoric . For researchers VLUSHE classified as one of the main points




War of Tenda e Qypit

  

Nationally, casting light on the prehistoric culture of our people , in their opinion, the archaeological material that clearly represents a point of civic culture of Mesolithic and Neolithic era early .
The same value for researchers point represents Leshnje archaeological village . Archaeological material this point, located about 4 km veriprëndim Vlushta , of the XIII century - X BC . According to researchers , the culture offered by Leshnja resemble ancient Illyrian culture , found in the village of Korca train . Fund greatest archaeological findings in these two stations constitute the painting ceramics . This is a kind of culture that resembles the characteristics of the features of pottery discovered many archaeological sites in South - Eastern Albania . The existence and development of civic life Illyrian provinces Skrapar confirm a number of fortified settlements . As is known , this culture living in our country has begun to appear since the Iron Age . While in this region , the data show that such settlements have emerged in the second period following the Iron Age . Even as dëshohet archaeological record , the period between millennia V - The BC, Skrapar areas has been developed. Assume that this has been the most flourishing period of great civic life BC . Significant material content Illyrian culture Korce, bring discoveries in the fortified residence Gores , Potom village . According to researchers , it dates between centuries IV - II BC and has played more the role of a civic center watcher . Construction techniques of paper used in Gore , are the same as the culture of the ancient city of Antigonea . Role of a residential urban center brings the fortified Tërrovës ancient towns . According to archaeological evidence , the centuries IV - II BC life in urban areas desaretëve Illyrian tribe recognized an even greater blown . Its constituent parts are thought to have been the city Ilir Zëlënckës . This city is considered by archaeologists as the city paraadhësi Çorovoda . This link is being promoted as facilities Numerous archeological museum, and the large topographical fund . Zëlënckës city was built on both sides of the River Osumi , which connect Sharova bridge between them . From this bridge kept in good condition her feet , reaching a height of 1.5 m . Even on them has increased in recent times the existing bridge . But since the second century b.C. and long after the data on the continuity of life in this city are quite scarce . Only in the sixth century , in the period of Slavic barbarian invasions , the city is mentioned in public, but now with a new name CernoVodë ( Black Water ) , today Corovoda . When historians have talked about ancient Illyrian- Roman wars II - III century BC , except Antipatreas ( Portland ) , have mentioned the fortified settlements to its east along the valley Apsit ( Osumi ) , as Orgesi , Karagu of Gerunti . These fortified towns matched with Bargullasin , Castle Skrparit Prishta . It is known that an important place in the development of Illyrian civic culture in our country , citizens occupied dwellings style castle . Even in parts of Skrapar this kind of culture is very present and has been identified by researchers at several points . The oldest among them is Tomorricë Gradeci Castle , belonging to the seventh century - VI BC For the architecture and manufacturing techniques , the Castle Prishta represents a highly developed center of civic life Illyrian . Indicators are its architectural completeness of the same with those of Berat Castle Irmajt Gramsh , but while also resemble Zgërdheshit in young castle . Rapid development , civic life in the castle took in late antiquity period . Some of the forts by name in the history of the region of Skrapar are Lavdarit Castle , Dhoresit , Coast Koroni , Bargullas , Prishta , etc. . Traditions of civic life in the castle of fortified settlements in areas Skrapar vazhdimisinë kept them in later periods . Suffice it to mention the fact that the citizens of the province carefully preserve cultural background values ​​inherited from Skrapar Castle . This castle was built by specialists at the same time as the castle Tomori . Skrapar Castle is set on top of the hill facing the city today, called Cerovës hills , and separated by the River Osumi . Another indicator of the continuity of medieval life in Korce, and construction of toilets ( baths ) . As is known , the bathrooms were constructed my public character , where people meet enough demand medieval civic life . Bathrooms are typically the province of Sllatinjë village , about 5 km southwest of the city of Çorovodës . Minimum Slatina village inhabited that continues to this day , there bathrooms are still preserved in relatively good condition . Researchers think that these baths are only of their kind , not only in Korce, but across the country . Since dekadate before the nineteenth century the Turks were put under full control of Cham Albanian territories in the South to the Mat River . All these areas were in Sandzak of Albania , where Skrapari was one of 10 vilayets of Sandzak . Turkish occupation , as for the entire country , was quite serious consequences for the population Skrapar . However during this difficult period Skrapar province had its own development. Austrian historian Karl Patch brings us a clue very important in this respect , in his notes , he sheds light on a path that starts from the town of Berat and after crossing the valley part of Osumi , back east , the stronghold of Tomorri , expected transverse Tomorricës Valley and ends in the South . Presence of provincial branches interregional road during the show and quite medieval bridge , which ehe stand for solid construction techniques . To distinguish their strategic importance Kasabashit bridge and bridge Sharovës . Bridge Kasabashit can rightly be called a cultural monument with rare architectural . Ekzizston its opinion that the project is done by architect Kasemi , a famous European intellectual . Today the bridge is preserved in good condition and continues to funksionjë as the main connecting hub between areas of the province . Kasabashit Bridge and it Sharovës two branches are built on the Osumi River . They are located about 1 km from the city of Çorovodës , respectively north and south of it . Specialists think that they are built around the sixteenth and seventeenth century , the construction of these bridges greatly facilitated communication Skrapar population with neighboring regional civilizations . Since this time, the volume of economic exchanges with the major trading centers of Berat, Korca especially .

In these difficult times you put the border between earth and heaven , the other shaqen sensation even more powerful , to follow from behind even when out of the canyon , even when you are away from him , they invite him back and visit it again .






                                                   

In the vertical walls of the canyon there are plenty of niches
cavity formed by karst processes . Among them stands " eye of the bride ", located 800 m near the village of Bigazit and that is a hole or perhaps a karst cave in the form of a gallery with a length of 7-8 m and a diameter of about 2 m . Surely the vertical walls of limestone caves there are other much larger , which explorer expect to detect and identify their multiple values ​​.

The wedding guests were returning with the bride , who had taken another village , when the bride arrived here say that they " are lead to her husband involuntarily " , but gave no answer intermarry . So she thought of his escape plan . Praying to God, addresses the canyon rock ' open yourselves , or rock to get rid of the embarrassment that has occupied " . And heard the rock , immediately opened a hole , cavity . The bride was thrown from his horse and hid in the hole . The wedding guests returned to the village without it. Later this hole started to visit the new bride who sought to make with children . The second legend relates the strange forms created by karsti ( third) of limestone in the water . These forms are similar to the trace of a horse and a stick . They are located near Dhores village , about 5 km from the city of Çorovodës . Legend qualifying them as traces of saint Ali Abbas , who came in Tomor Karbila , riding on his white horse . He fled and left his mark on the board of Kajcës, where again flew to Mount Tomori .
