    I took these photos in early August 2019. It's such a beautiful Church. Our free guided tour brought us outside this Church.

    Orthodox cathedral in downtown Tirana, very interesting architecture. Suggested to sit inside and quietly observe the ceilings and sides of the building. Inside the ceiling mosaic is wonderful. It is said to be probably the most beautiful oriental-ortodox church in Balkan peninsula. And as I recall the third largest Orthodox church of Europe. In a country full of muslims, it was very surprizing to find such huge and beautiful orthodox cathedral. But I think it shows the respect of other religions in this country and the tolerance.

    Impressive and beautiful cathedral located in the heart of Tirana. We loved the stunning architecture and design. We did not see the interior because it was already closed when we arrived, however we were told by the tour guide that is worth seeing it.

    I came to be saved and ended up putting on 4 pounds surrounded by ice cream parlors and cafes it is easy for a fearless pilgrim to put on substantial weight just thinking about creation & chocolate chipism.

    (Translated by Google) The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Tirana began to be built in 2003 following the breakthrough of actual socialism in democracy and the guidance and support of the Archbishop of Tirana, Durrahio and all Albanian Anastasios the Great. Neo-Christian type .. I visited the church on 30/10/10 2019 and was impressed. Note that there was a Christian church from the 17th century, which was demolished in 1967, by the Albanian Communist leader Enver Hoxha who a hunt for every religion ...

    It is the third largest Orthodox Church in Europe. It's not old 2012. The bell tower reaches 46 metres or approximately 151 feet. The bell tower is composed of four Paschal candles which symbolize the four Evangelists who proclaimed the Resurrection. These join together around the central shaft of stairs. The winding staircase leads to two open floors with 16 bells.
