The castle lies on a surface of 3625ha. Archeological diggings of 1971-1977 show that the area was inhabited from the first millennium B.C, it turned into a fortified city with squared walls and the castle with 18 towers. Overnight in Radhima, which is a village of Vlora district, on the Western side of Lungara Mountain. It is known as an ancient dwelling place of the IIId century B.C.
