It has been suggested that this article be merged into Prizren. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2016.

Theranda was an old Roman settlement in what is now Prizren.

The town is mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD in his Geography, whereas in the 5th century AD it is mentioned with the name of Petrizên by Procopius of Caesarea in De aedificiis (Book IV, Chapter 4).

Sometimes the town is mentioned even in relation to the Justiniana Prima.
