Pogradec is a city in southeastern Albania, situated
on the shores of Ohrid lake. It is the capital of the District of Pogradec, in
the County of Korçë, with a population of around 30,000 (2005 est). The total
area of the district is 725 km². Pogradec alone occupies about
15 km². This city is surrounded by hills on the southern and western side.
The lake is in the eastern and northern side of the city. The highway linking
to Tirana, Elbasan and Korçë passes through the city. It is located SE of Elbasan,
SW of Ohrid in the Republic of Macedonia.
"In the Balkan Eneolithic
period there were settlements on piles at the north end of Lake Ohrid by the outflow; at the east
end of Lake Malik by the outflow; on one side of Lake
Prespa; on the east side of Lake Kastoria; and on one side of Lake
Rudnik . The later settlements at Malik were not on piles; the level of that
Lake was lower throughout the Bronze Age. When Polybius wrote of the account
which was used by Strabo 7.327, there were near the Mt Candavia sector of
the Via Egnatia 'the lakes near Lychnidu with their own self-supporting factories for pickling fish'. The two lakes
which satisfy this description are Lake Ohrid and Lake
Prespa.
