Cave of Saint Blaise, Pilgrimage cave near Saint Anthony Church in Laç, Albania
The natural limestone cave contains multiple chambers and openings, situated within the rocky terrain of northwestern Albania's Kurbin Municipality.
During times of persecution in the early Christian era, this cave provided shelter to Saint Blaise before his journey to Ragusa.
The cave maintains significance as a religious site where local residents conduct traditional ceremonies and gather for spiritual reflection throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the cave through marked pathways from Saint Anthony Church, with the site remaining open for religious ceremonies and individual prayers.
The cave links to both Christian and pre-Christian traditions, as local folklore connects Saint Blaise to the ancient Slavic deity Veles.
