Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral
Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Tirana, Albania.
The Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral is a house of worship in Tirana that merges Byzantine building traditions with contemporary design. The structure rises to 46 meters and features a spacious central dome, arched passageways, and an interior decorated with detailed mosaics and religious artwork.
The cathedral was built in 2012, marking a turning point after decades when religious expression was suppressed by the state. Its construction demonstrated a shift toward religious freedom and gave the Orthodox community a place to rebuild its spiritual life.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place for Tirana's Orthodox Christian community, hosting regular services and religious celebrations that bring people together. Visitors can experience the living faith of the congregation and observe how Orthodox traditions shape the rhythm of worship here.
The interior layout is straightforward and easy to navigate from the main entrance, with multiple levels that allow you to explore different parts of the building. Plan enough time for an unhurried walk to appreciate the decorative details and artwork throughout the space.
The most striking feature is the central dome, crowned with a large mosaic of Christ Pantocrator that draws the eye upward inside the building. This religious artwork is visible even from outside and has become a recognizable part of Tirana's skyline.
