Description
Dagno was probably the ancient greek fortress of Dainaa. This fortification protected the left bank of the Drin river and had a continued usage throughout the whole medieval age. The fortress was damaged in 1452 by a lightning strike and later demolished, probably by Skanderbeg (VĆ ŽSN., 31 - Danь grad(ь)).
