This collection highlights Albania's diverse religious architecture, reflecting a long history of interfaith coexistence. It features 18th-century Ottoman mosques like Et'hem Bey, known for its rare nature-themed frescoes, and the 16th-century Lead Mosque in Berat. Christian heritage is represented by the 13th-century Ardenica Monastery and the grand Resurrection Cathedral in Korçë. From Shkodër's Catholic landmarks to the hilltop monasteries of the south, these sites showcase the country's unique spiritual and cultural evolution.
