Medieval cities of Albania : ウィキペディア英語版 | Medieval cities of Albania
In the 14th and 15th centuries, the cities of Albania marked a slight but permanent progress. A number of new urban centers appeared around the coasts and river valleys. The city of Kosovo developed based on extraction and processing of ores of lead, silver and gold. In the late Middle Ages, the Albanian cities were distinguished with development of craftsmanship, in particular the craftsmanship of jewelry, furring, carpentry, construction and gunsmithing. Craftsmanship development also induced internal and foreign trade, particularly with the Italian trade cities and with Dubrovnik. The internal trade was developed through the old and new trading routes, influencing positively the significant connections of ethnic Albanian provinces. ==Development of old cities and the rise of new cities==
Medieval Albanian cities grew and developed during 14th and 15th centuries. Besides the existing cities, a number of new centers appeared, in the vicinity of rivers and in the river valleys, including Shirgj on the coast of river Buna, Shufadaja in the valley of Mati, Pirgu and Spinarica in the valley of Seman river. In the upper Albania (Kosovo), several important centers were restored, in particular those dealing with extraction and processing of minerals such as: lead, silver and gold, centers to be mentioned here are; Janjeva, Trepça and Novoberda.〔P. Thengjilli, Historia e Popullit Shqiptar 395-1875, Shblu, Tirane, 1999, pg.64〕 Durres was the largest city. It was one of the main centers for trade and politics of the country. In the second half of the 14th century the population of this city was 25,000 inhabitants. In Northern Albania, after Durres, the second largest was Shkodra, which was surrounded by a number of smaller cities like Tivar, Ulqin, Shas, Balec, Sepa and Lezha.〔P. Thengjilli, Historia e Popullit Shqiptar 395-1875, Shblu, Tirane, 1999, pg.64〕 The main cities in the south were Berat, Vlora, Janina and Preveza. Following the fall of Durres, from the beginning of the 15th century, Vlora was becoming the main center in the Albanian coastline, followed by Gjirokastra, Korça, Bradashesh (near present-day Elbasan) being towns with a relatively small number of population.〔P.
