Kodžadžik

Kodžadžik (Macedonian: Коџаџик; Turkish: Kocacık), is a village in the municipality of Centar Župa, North Macedonia.

The local church was converted to an Ottoman mosque, and Kodžadžik, as part of the sanjak (district) Debra-i Bala, became a center that connected the southeast with Albania and the Adriatic Sea.

[8] The positioning of the castle gives it favorable strategic control several surrounding areas such as the Black Drin, the Debar-Kodžadžik road, Dibër County and the settlements of Debar.

The topographical location of Kodžadžik Castle closely aligns with Barleti's description of the city of Sfetigrad, to the extent that it appears almost identical.

[11] Parts of the fortification system from the Late Antiquity and medieval periods are present on the upper platform of its level rocky surface.

[12] The walls follow the contours of the crest, except on the southern side, where they enclose two narrow terraces suitable for habitation.
