History
Pal Kastrioti (fl. 1383—1407) was given village of Sina (Signa) as a fief by Zetan lord Balša II. Pal's son, Konstantin II (named after his grandfather Konstantin Kastrioti), was the lord of Serina (Sina, or Cerüja).
The settlements of Setina e Sipërme and Setina e Poshtme are attested in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as villages belonging to the timar of Karagöz in the vilayet of Lower Dibra. Both villages had a total of three households respectively and the anthropology recorded depicts an overwhelmingly Albanian character, although a single instance of Slavicisation via the usage of the suffix -ovići is attested in the latter settlement. From Setina e Sipërme: Gjon Vlashi, Gjon Niqifori, and Vlash Bilashi. From Setina e Poshtme: Dimitri Kastrijoti, Pal Pirovići, and Kolë Prifti.{{cite book |last1=Caka |first1=Eduart |title=Defteri i hollësishëm për zonat e dibrës i vitit 1467 |date=2019 |publisher=Akademia e studimeve albanologjike instituti historisë |location=Tiranë |page=73}}
