Lezha is one of the oldest towns in Albania, founded in the 4-th century B.C. under the Illyrian name of LIS (Latin Lissus). It is mentioned in documents the first time on 385 B.C. as having been founded by the tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysus. On a hill near the town are the remains of the old Illyrian walls, which divide the ancient city into three parts; The Acropolis, The Upper city and The Low City
