Arllat

Arllat is a village located in the municipality of Drenas in Kosovo.

History
Arllat was noted in an Ottoman defter of 1485 as a large village, consisting of 43 homes. On top of a plateau overlooking the village, there existed a Serbian Orthodox monastery purportedly built with the same materials used to build the Visoki Dečani monastery. The monastery was abandoned during the Great Migrations of the Serbs in 1690. The monastery lay abandoned until 1885 when local Albanians deconstructed the monastery and used the remnants to build a mosque in Arllat.

According to refugees, buildings in this small village located on the crossroads between Pristina, Peja, and Malisheva were set on fire by Serbian forces on March 30 after some 200 ethnic Albanian men had been executed.
