Territorial Abbey of Orosh, Territorial abbey in Mirditë region, Albania
The religious complex stands at coordinates 41.8618 latitude and 20.0715 longitude in the Valley of Fan, northwest Albania, within a mountain landscape.
The abbey received its establishment through papal decree on December 25, 1888, when its parishes transferred from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Lezhë.
The abbey maintains Catholic traditions in the Mirditë region, where local leaders gathered in 1911 to declare Albanian independence and establish a provisional government.
The religious site contains a modern church building constructed after the communist period, featuring new artworks including a Madonna mosaic from 2018.
Three additional parishes from the Diocese of Sapë joined the abbey in 1890, followed by five more parishes from Lezhë in 1894.
