St Paul's Archcathedral, Catholic cathedral in Tirana, Albania.
The triangular and circular forms of St Paul's Archcathedral create a modern architectural structure made primarily of brick materials in central Tirana.
Pope John Paul II initiated the cathedral's construction by laying its cornerstone during his 1993 visit to Albania, leading to its consecration in 2002.
The cathedral's stained glass windows display images of Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa, reflecting significant religious figures connected to Albanian heritage.
The cathedral opens daily from 7 AM to 7 PM, offering English-language masses on Sundays at 9 AM for international visitors and local congregation.
A seashell mural decorates the back left wall of the cathedral, while a statue of Saint Paul stands at the building's summit.
