Baleco Place The town of Balec is said to be inhabited by the Illyrians and then by the Romans. Being destroyed after the arrival of the Slavs, a new town was build on this site, which became the capital of the region and was incorporated into the kingdom of Duklja (Zeta from the 12th century onwards). Here, the bishopric of Palachium was established before 1067. The bishopric had been alternating its status as a suffragan of Dioclea and of Bar until the 15th century. (Könighaus) The Town of Baleco lies now in ruins north of Shkodra. The town is located on the Maja Balezit near the confluence of the rivers Rrjollit and Gropes. The town is described as very vital in the year 1363, but already in 1402 it only has the status of a Pronoia and has in 1416 counted only 25 houses. (FC CVen. di Scut. 101 - cita de Belezo). Baleco can probably identified with Skanderbegs Reç Fortress.
