CHURCH OF QELOVA
Church of Qelova is a historic place of worship that survived the communist period in Albania, when many religious sites were destroyed or closed. Today, however, it is often left in neglect despite its historical and cultural value in the democratic era.
Located about 30 minutes from the national road, at the foot of Mount Dhëmbel, it has great potential as a local tourist attraction.
