SAINT SUNDAY – GRABOVE
Although, following the new administrative division, the village of Grabovë is part of the Municipality of Përmet, historically it belonged to the region of Malëshovë. Saint Diela Church, built in the 18th century, is an important testimony to the rich religious and cultural heritage of the area. Located in a peaceful natural setting overlooking the Vjosa Valley, the church offers visitors an opportunity to discover both the local history and the traditional landscape of the region.
The church can be reached after approximately 10 minutes of hiking from the national road, close to the Vjosa River. The short trail combines nature, river views and cultural heritage, making the site an ideal stop for visitors exploring the Vjosa Valley and its surrounding villages.
