Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral

The Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral is Tirana’s principal Orthodox church and a striking modern landmark near Skanderbeg Square. Consecrated in 2012 after decades without a cathedral, it symbolizes Albania’s post-Communist religious revival. Visitors find a spacious, light-filled interior, a large central dome with elegant iconography, and a separate bell tower and chapel. The site is active with services yet welcoming to respectful tourists. Come for quiet reflection, to see contemporary Orthodox art and architecture, and to understand a key chapter in the city’s recent cultural and spiritual history. Modest dress is advised.
