According to Evlia Çelebi, it was built by the Albanian Abdurrahman Pasha. The foundations of the Peqini castle are thought to belong to the Roman period, at the time of the construction of the "Egnatia" road, and then it was reconstructed during the Turkish occupation. The walls of the castle, which also bears the name of the Illyrian settlement of Klodiana, had a height of about 12 meters. The castle of "Klodiana" was expanded in the 14th century by the Turks, who then gave it to the spahi of the casa, who built a two-story saraj and a harem. Demir Pasha was the last one to live in the fortress of Peqin.[1] The 17th century chronicler Çelebiu also mentions this fortress in his notes, who says: "...the walls of this castle are about 12 meters high. Inside sits the dizdari and there are 70 soldiers. There are 5 cannons in this castle and 10 small tiled houses. There is also a small mosque without a minaret. To the left of the castle there is a prayer hall...". The castle was equipped with underground sluices (tunnels) that served as an exit a few kilometers away from the city, in difficult times. Also, clay pipes were found in the walls of the fort, which according to archaeologists means that in times of war water was supplied from outside.

Beijing is an ancient city. It already dates back 2000 years and was once an Illyrian fortress called Claudiana. The city has always been located on a busy trade route, so it was often subject to hostile attacks. in 1431 it was captured by the Turks and renamed Biklinet. They rebuilt the city fortress. The ruins of the fortress are within walking distance of the mosque and chapel. In the very center of the town. There remains a fortress wall around the perimeter. The entrance to the courtyard is closed. Everything is unkempt and overgrown with grass. There is no information about this place anywhere. There is free parking nearby.
