Not much is known about the history of Proerna except that it was taken by Antiochos III in the conflict with the Romans. Most of the ancient reports mention its location, sometimes erroneously.
The site has been found and much excavation has occurred there. It is believed that most of the walls and towers were built during the time of Demetrios I Poliorketes or Kassander.
