St Paul's Cathedral (Tirana)

St Paul's Cathedral is a cathedral in Tirana, Albania. It belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tiranë-Durrës. The stained glass window to the left of the front door features Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa.[1] It is a modern-looking building, and does not resemble a traditional church.

When Pope John Paull II visited Albania in 1993, he laid the cornerstone for the church. It was innagurated on 26 January 2002.[2]
