St Paul's Cathedral is a cathedral in
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] Also a statue of Mother Teresa
can be found at the entrance of the cathedral. It is a modern-looking building and does not resemble a traditional church.
Architecture
When Pope John Paull II visited Albania in 1993, he laid the cornerstone for the church. It was inaugurated on 26 January 2002.[2]
The cathedral is built using a combined triangle and circle shape, representing the Trinity and God's Eternity respectively, and features a relatively plain interior. At the back is a baptismal font with a
apostle Paul is set on the top of the building.[3]
