Churches and Cathedrals of Albania
While the religion of the majority of Albanians is Islam, Christianity comes in second, including both Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. The territory of modern Albania has been influenced throughout history by both the Byzantine empire as well as Italian kingdoms and republics, both of whom spread their respective forms of Christianity and left their marks on the religious heritage landscape. A large number of these sites have faced destruction throughout the years, particularly during the Communist regime of the 20th century, but many still remain. We've put together a list of some of the top churches and cathedrals that can be found across the beautiful landscape of Albania.
