Shkodër Cathedral, Romanesque Revival cathedral in Shkodër, Albania
The cathedral spans 74 meters in length and 50 meters in width, with a central tower reaching 23 meters into the sky.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1858 and finished in 1867, following a decree from Sultan Abdülmecid I permitting its establishment.
