Description
Accordung to Šufflay, the ruins of the medieval upper town of Suacium lay near the modern day village of Šaš. The town was plundered by the Tartars in 1242 but recovered until it began to decline from 1388 onwards. The town is mentioned in 1470 as "villa de Suazzo" and Giustiniani states in 1553 that the walls, gates and moat were still visible and somehow usable.
