Church of St Marie
Church of St Marie. This church hasn't survived the religious revival so well. The hilariously garish photo-realistic images painted over the communist whitewash have to be seen to be believed - particularly the scenes to the left of the altar, with the Magdalene in billowing scarlet robes.

Church of the Holy Evangelist
An Orthodox church set back from Rruga e Kavajës in a laneway. In the mid-1960s the infamous atheism campaign resulted in many churches and mosques being bulldozed or converted into public buildings. On this church's steeple you can clearly see where the cross-shaped holes in the brickwork were once covered over.

St Paul's Catholic Cathedral
This massive edifice looks a bit like a hotel from the outside, while inside it has all the ambience of a hotel lobby. There are some interesting stained-glass windows, particularly the one featuring John Paul II and Mother Teresa to the left of the front door.
