St Mary's Church, Orthodox church in Leusë, Albania
Saint Mary's Church stands on a hill behind Përmet, featuring a narthex, naos, altar, and porch across 345 square meters of space.
The original structure dates back to the 6th century during Emperor Justinian I's reign, with the current building reconstructed in the 18th century.
The interior walls showcase religious murals completed in 1812, complemented by an intricately carved iconostasis from 1817 that represents Orthodox artistic traditions.
Access requires a 30 to 40-minute hike from Përmet's center, as the road conditions make driving unsuitable for regular vehicles.
The church structure incorporates architectural elements from multiple periods, built upon ancient foundations that connect modern worship to early Byzantine designs.
