St Stephen’s Cathedral in Shkodër, with its bell tower

St Stephen’s Cathedral

The museum and the cathedral are one project

The museum lies beneath the cathedral’s bell tower, on its south side. The cathedral was built in the 19th century; from 1967 until 1991 the regime used it as a sports hall.

After your visit, step inside. The relics of the Blessed Martyrs rest in the small left-hand altar, the Holy Family attributed to Kolë Idromeno returned in 2022, and the wooden altar from Beltoja has stood there since 2023.
