A new Catholic temple, the first of its kind in Albania, is being constructed by a local architect using local materials and workers. Located near a historic river, the building signifies a return to cultural roots after a long absence of religious structures following the communist era. The architect, educated in Switzerland, seeks to create a unique and beautiful space, reflecting the village's rich history and Christian traditions. This temple represents a pivotal revitalization of faith and community within a region that had lacked new religious architecture for decades.
The realization of this building demonstrates that throughout this period of transition, no church or religious temple was ever constructed in this village, unlike many other nearby villages.
The river brings the stones, the air brings the ideas, and the light brings them to life. This is how the imagination for creating the new modern Catholic temple begins.
