Saint Mary’s Church of Kosine
The 500-year-old Saint May's Sleep Church in Kosine, Albania, the second oldest in the Balkans, has been fully restored after decades of neglect. This historic 12th-century Byzantine church, which hadn't been renovated since the 1980s, has been revitalized through careful efforts. The restoration project, in collaboration with the Orthodox Church, aims to turn the village of Kosine into a notable tourist destination. The church's unique architecture and its inclusion in the 'Roads of Faith' program contributed to its restoration. The revitalization encompassed structural stability, roof and floor repairs, window restoration, vegetation removal, and wall reinforcement. The next phase involves restoring the discovered frescoes and paintings within the church, illuminating its rich history.
