Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, Labovë e Kryqit
Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, Labovë e Kryqit, Byzantine church in Labovë e Kryqit, Albania
The Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos features a circular dome and distinctive fishbone patterns on its exterior stone walls.
Built in the early 10th century, this Eastern Orthodox church stands as one of the oldest religious structures in the Gjirokastër District.
The church preserved a fragment of the True Cross and housed the Labovitissa icon until 1967, when religious practices were halted.
This Cultural Monument of Albania remains an active place of worship, welcoming both religious services and architectural study visits.
The structure contains a triple passage connecting the central aisle to subsidiary aisles, marking a departure from traditional church layouts.
