St. Paraskevi's Church, Çetë, 13th-century church in Çetë, Albania.

The stone church exhibits Gothic-Roman architectural elements with a three-part structure consisting of an altar, narthex, and nave.

Initially constructed as a Catholic Benedictine church during the Regnum Albaniae period, the building transformed into an Orthodox place of worship in 1691.

The Zografi brothers decorated the interior walls with religious paintings, while Kostandin Shpataraku contributed sixteen icons to the church's collection.

The religious structure maintains its position at coordinates 41.199 latitude and 19.5743 longitude, offering access to additional regional landmarks.

A circular sun figure embedded in the floor reflects pre-Christian sun worship traditions that persisted through the building's construction.

GPS coordinates: 41.19900,19.57430
