Paleochristian Church, Paleochristian church ruins in Udënisht, Albania.
The archaeological site contains remains of a religious structure featuring marble columns, a triple nave design, and a semi-circular apse near Lake Ohrid.
Excavations at the site revealed intricate floor mosaics dating from the 4th and 5th centuries, indicating the presence of early Christian communities in the region.
