Qytezë

Qytezë (or Qyteza in its definite form in Albanian) is a community in the Korçë County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Devoll.[2] The settlement is known for being the birthplace of Adam Belushi, the father of John and James Belushi.

Qyteza (Albanian: little town) was formed during the 18th century from the Orthodox settlers of nearby abandoned villages, wrecked from the Ottoman oppression.[3] Local people have contributed to the Albanian National Awakening, June Revolution, and the National Liberation Movement (Albania).[3]

Vasil Tromara, an Albanian patriot, would be remembered for raising the Albanian flag in Korçë, on November 28, 1920, marking the end of the inter-dependencies of the region and final incorporation in Albania.[4]

Migration has always characterized the village; nowadays only a few families are still residing in it.

People
gollark: I mostly just use stuff like ridiculously overenchanted powered bows.
gollark: Technically, RFTools Dimensions is a separate mod, and lots of server owners don't add it because they "don't want to utterly obliterate their computer" or other such silly reasons.
gollark: You might need another machine for it, I'm unsure because the UI is kind of awful.
gollark: Also, interestingly enough, while it's not well-known because the UI is kind of awful and it's poorly documented, RFTools builders *can* selectively mine.
gollark: Although Utsuho is committing heresy and Environmental Tech is awful since it goes for "balance" by using increasingly giant amounts of resources and boring progression chains instead of requiring any independent thought whatsoever.
