==History== In classical antiquity, Roman writer Lucan recorded a site named Palaeste on the Ceraunian Mountains in Chaonia, which may correspond to modern-day Palasë. The name Palaeste is considered to be Illyrian. Palaeste was also considered as being geographically located in southern Illyria, next to Oricum. In Palaeste, Julius Caesar landed from Brundusium, in order to carry on the war against Pompey.
