Kisha e Shën Mërisë - St Mary's Church - Leusa
Saint Mary's Church (Leusa, Përmet) stands as a cultural heritage landmark in the district of Leusa, Përmet, Gjirokastër, Albania. Its historical roots extend to the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian, although the present structure was built in the 18th century . The architectural composition encompasses the narthex, nave, altar area, porch, and chapel. The narthex's entry is on the western side, bordered by two windows, and it features two floors upheld by six pillars organized in two rows. The upper floor, accessible from the southwest corner, is illuminated by two north-facing windows. The connection between the narthex and the nave is established through a doorway adorned with windows on either side. The nave is divided into three sections by two tall arches flanked by columns and pilasters on the east side. The altar space boasts a beamed structure with a vaulted apse, along with the prothesis and the diaconicon featuring niches on the east and side walls. A wooden iconostasis of significant artistic value demarcates the altar area from the nave. In 2000, the church underwent reconstruction.
