Shufada

Shufada was a medieval trade port in northern Albania. It was near the mouth of a river, with academics proposing Mat, Ishëm and Erzen. It was at the time one among a string of ports in Albania that enjoyed prosperity and economic significance until being abandoned at the start of the Ottoman period. An 1420 commercial treaty between Gjon Kastrioti and the Republic of Ragusa shows that Shufada was the main customs port for the former's domains.
