History Lura is an old village in the Dibër county and has a fascinating history. After Skanderbegs death in 1468 the Ottomans wanted 300 women from Lura. The people of Lura were angered so instead of sending woman in Duvaks they sent 300 men in Duvaks with weapons to fight the ottomans. The men were sent on horseback to the ottoman camp and then when they got there the ottomans were waiting and then they started fighting the ottomans and they eventually won the battle.
