Theth Church
Kisha e Thethit
A small stone church in the middle of a meadow, with the Albanian Alps rising behind it, the most classic postcard view of the Theth Valley.
This Catholic chapel, built in 1892, has stone walls and a wooden roof. It stands on the wide meadow at the floor of the Theth Valley, surrounded by Albanian Alps peaks over 2,000 metres high. During the communist era it was converted into a clinic. It was restored in 2006 and reopened, and Mass is occasionally held here in summer. The best photo spot is on the small path north of the church, where the light is best in the early morning or evening. It is a 10 to 20 minute walk from guesthouses in the village and can be combined with the Lock-in Tower and the Ethnographic Museum.
