Name
The name of the fortified settlement of Kanina was attested for the first time at the beginning of the 11th century AD in
History
The settlement of Kaninë developed below a hilltop
In the early Middle Ages, the site seems to have been abandoned and very little activity is archaeologically visible in its vicinity. Kanina and Vlora likely saw a revitalization by the 11th century. In this era, the rebuilt and expanded fortress of Kanina must have acquired an "increasingly defensive and administrative character" in the region.
