The Resurrection of Christ Cathedral of Korçë (Albanian: Katedralja “Ngjallja e Krishtit”) is the main Orthodox church in Korçë, Albania. The cathedral was built by Greece for the Albanian Orthodox Church in 2002.[1] A previous cathedral in Korçë named after St. George was destroyed by the Communist authorities in 1968. It received the money for construction from Greeks and also from Orthodox members of the Albanian diaspora.[2]
It is painted in pink, blue and brown.[3] Inside, the modest white interior is dominated by a huge carved wooden iconostasis.[4]
