Humans have inhabited the area of Tirana since prehistoric times, with the earliest recognized reference found at the Cave of Pëllumbas belonging to the Palaeolithic period. Illyrians were the first population of the area. They formed most likely the core of the Illyrian kingdom of the Taulantii, which in classical antiquity was centred in the hinterland of Epidamnus. When the Romans arrived in Illyria after their victory in the Illyrian Wars, they populated and integrated the area into their empire under the political control of the city of Rome. The oldest surviving discovery from this period is a Roman house dating to the 3rd century, which was transformed into an aisleless church with a mosaic floor. A castle, possibly known as Tarkan, was built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I between the 4th and 6th centuries and later restored by Ahmed Pasha Toptani in the 18th century.
