Shufada was a medieval trade port in northern Albania. It was near the mouth of a river, with academics proposing Mat, [1] Ishëm [2] and Erzen. [3] It was at the time one among a string of ports in Albania that enjoyed prosperity and economic significance until being abandoned at the start of the Ottoman period. [1] An 1420 commercial treaty between Gjon Kastrioti and the Republic of Ragusa shows that Shufada was the main customs port for the former's domains. [4]
