Dhuvjan Monastery, Byzantine monastery in Dhuvjan, Albania
The Dhuvjan Monastery features traditional Byzantine architecture with domes and decorative frescoes overlooking the road between Gjirokastër and Delvinë cities in southern Albania.
The monastery, established in 1089, served as an educational center with a Greek school founded by Cosmas of Aetolia in 1777, followed by additional schools in 1858.
The monastery maintains its dedication to Saints Quiricus and Julietta, represented through religious artifacts including an 1819 icon containing saints' relics discovered in 2006.
The monastery stands as a designated cultural monument since 1963, with retired teacher Spiro Panajoti maintaining the site for visitors interested in religious heritage.
Located in the Drino Valley, the monastery experienced various incidents, including the theft of valuable items such as an old wooden cross and icons in 2010.
