St. Nicholas Church, Moscopole, Eastern Orthodox church in Moscopole, Albania.

The basilica-type church features a central naos with a cupola, accompanied by a narthex and cloister constructed entirely from regional rock materials.

Built in 1721, St. Nicholas Church received designation as a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1948, marking its enduring importance to the region.

The interior walls display mural paintings created by Albanian artist David Selenica and his assistants Kostandin and Kristo, completed in 1726.

The church maintains regular religious services with liturgy conducted in Aromanian language, followed by readings in Albanian for the congregation.

The Zografi Brothers contributed additional decorative elements to the church cloister in 1750, enhancing the artistic value of this religious structure.
