In 7 September 1457 the Battle of Ujëbardha occurred in Milot. It was the Second Siege of Krujë when an Albanian army led by Skanderbeg broke the surrounding Ottoman army. The defeat was chronicled in considerable detail by Ottoman chronicler Evliya Çelebi. The Battle of Ujëbardha was one of the greatest victories for Skanderbeg.
