History
In Vuçak at the foot of Mount Kasmaç, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) southwest of Drenas, the ruins along the hillsides occupy a commanding position. The collected archaeological evidences support human activity from prehistoric to the Medieval period, but the two prominent forts remaining show characteristics of the Late Antiquity period.[3][4]
