Balec was an medieval fortified town near Shkodër in what is now Albania. The settlement originated in Roman times. During Byzantine rule over the area, it was part of the Dyrrhachium theme. Later it was a seat of a župa of the Kingdom of Duklja, and later still of the Lordship of Zeta. Balec suffered much damage during the Second Scutari War between the Serbian Despotate and the Republic of Venice. After the Republic of Venice gained control over it at the beginning of the 15th century, its size was reduced to a small pronoia with only 25 houses, and the fortress was abandoned and fell to ruin. Skanderbeg's forces rebuilt the fortress during his war with Venice in 1448 and established a strong garrison in it, but the Venetian forces soon drove them away and demolished the fortress. Ottoma

  • Baleč (italien : Balezo, (en albanais : Balec)) était une ville fortifiée médiévale albanaise située près de Shkodër située dans l'Albanie contemporaine. Elle fut bâtie sur la colline dont le nom était Balez. Ce site était habité depuis l'époque romaine. Sous l'empire Byzantin, elle faisait partie du thème de Dyrrhachium. Plus tard, ce fut le centre d'une župa du royaume de Duklja, et plus tard encore de la seigneurie de Zeta. Baleč fut fortement endommagé pendant la deuxième guerre de Scutari qui opposa le Despotat de Serbie à la République de Venise. Une fois sous le contrôle de la République de Venise au début du XVe siècle, sa taille fut réduite à une petite pronoia avec seulement 25 maisons, et la forteresse fut abandonnée et tomba en ruine. Les forces de Skanderbeg reconstruisirent la forteresse pendant sa guerre avec Venise en 1448 et y établirent une forte garnison, mais les forces vénitiennes les chassèrent rapidement et démolirent la forteresse. Les plans ottomans pour reconstruire Baleč et la peupler de colons turcs n'ont jamais été mis en œuvre et Baleč resta en ruines, ruines qui sont encore visible aujourd'hui. (fr)
