History

Located near the homes of the old imams of the region, the area is known for the ruined Kalaja e Princeshës, the ancient centerpiece of a community once dominated by Catholics. Remnants of the Catholic legacy remain today, including the foundations of churches at Bukov and at Kroni Plak in Gurishtë. A mosque, built in 1856, was burned down on April 10, 1999, during the Kosovo War.
