St. Marina's Monastery

St. Marina's Monastery, Orthodox monastery near Llëngë, Korçë County, Albania

St. Marina's Monastery is a small Orthodox church about 8 to 12 metres long, standing on a dominant height of the mountain above the Shkumbin river, north of the village of Llëngë in the Pogradec area. Inside, a carved wooden iconostasis 6 metres wide and 4 metres high, decorated with floral motifs, separates the altar from the central nave. The whole interior is covered with frescoes by Kostandin Shpataraku.

This monastery was founded in the 17th century as part of the Orthodox building tradition in Albania. The painted frescoes were added later during the 18th century, showing how the structure developed over time.

The church is dedicated to Marina the Monk, a figure venerated in the Orthodox tradition. Inside, a wooden iconostasis six metres wide and four metres high separates the altar from the nave, carved with floral motifs. The whole interior is covered with frescoes by Kostandin Shpataraku, a master painter of these districts.

St. Marina's Monastery stands north of Llëngë, on a dominant peak above the Shkumbin river, in the Pogradec area of Korçë County. The church is about 8 to 12 metres long, so the visit is short; allow time for the climb to the ridge.

The iconostasis is 6 metres wide and 4 metres high, carved with floral motifs, and it separates the altar from the central nave. The church itself is only about 8 to 12 metres long, so the screen fills much of the interior.
