Church of Prophet Elijah - Moscopole
The church of Prophet Elijah is located on a shore, westwards of the settlement, in the place where the old caravan route extended from Voskopoja (Moscopole) to Berat. The church was built in 1751. It is a large three-aisled basilica with a gable roof, a domed nave and a porch, a yard surrounded by walls and a campanile tower. Other buildings were part of this yard, too. According to tradition, the basilica was built over the ruins of an old chapel dedicated to the same patron saint, which was thought to be small to fulfill the needs of the growing community. The writing sources inform that for the maintenance of the building the guild of 'Prophet Elijah' was created.
