Most of the monuments located in Ismailli district belong to the history of Albania. One of these monuments is the 7th century Girdiman Castle. Girdiman Castle was built by the Albanian ruler Javanshir (642-681), who had great diplomatic and military skills. The location of the fortress in a strategically important position created the basis for the defenders to prevent the threat of attack by powerful states such as Arab, Sasanian, Khazar, Byzantine and preserve the independence of Albania. 93 historical and cultural monuments are protected in the territory of the reserve with an area of 80 hectares.
