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

St. Nicholas Church is a stone basilica completed in 1721, with a domed naos, a narthex and a cloister. Its walls carry murals by David Selenica and assistants Kostandin and Kristo, finished in 1726, while the Zografi Brothers painted the cloister in 1750.

The church was built in 1721 and later recognized as a major cultural monument of Albania. This official designation reflected its artistic and spiritual importance to the region.

This church serves as a spiritual center for Aromanian speakers, who maintain their religious traditions here through services conducted in their own language. The practice remains active and visible to visitors, showing how the community keeps its heritage alive through daily worship.

You can attend services or view the interior artwork at your own pace during visiting hours. It helps to check access times in advance, especially if you want to experience a religious service.

The donor portrait in the murals is a detail to look for: David Selenica's painting is noted for its realistic character, shown in that likeness as well as in its theological content. The 1726 date comes from the church inscription and was confirmed by an archaeological expedition in 1953.
