St. Mary's Church

The church stands as a stone structure with distinct architectural elements, including stones carved in cross shapes throughout its exterior walls.

Construction of St. Mary's Church started in 1483 in the Vlach neighborhood, taking nearly a century to complete before holding its first services in 1556.

Master painter Onufri created detailed frescoes inside the church, while David Selenica later contributed to the restoration of the religious artwork.

The church maintains its position at coordinates 41.115481 latitude and 20.080416 longitude, near other historical landmarks within the Elbasan municipality.

After suffering fire damage in the 18th century, the church underwent complete reconstruction in the early 19th century while preserving its original design elements.
