The Paleochristian Basilica belonged to the Illyrian Dassareti tribe, which inhabited this region since antiquity. The Bazilika lies on the southern side of Ladorisht, in an area called 'Livadhet e Dautit' (Daut's Meadows). Excavations began under Dimçe Koço in  1954, and were finished in 1976 by the archaeologist Vlado Malenko. As a result of these excavations, graves from the early Middle Ages were also discovered. The Bazilika consists of a narthex, exonarthex, annex and intersection. Of particular note are the Narthex and the central ship which are covered by floors and mosaics stylized with flora and geometric decorations, as well as landscapes of living birds. The Bazilika dates between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th century, whereas the graves date between the 7th-8th centuries. The findings within this necropolis have similarity and connectivity  with the Komani-Kruja culture, which is hypothesised to be the link between the ancestral population of the Albanians and the medieval Albanians.
