Church of Saint Nicholas, Lezhë

The Church of Saint Nicholas(Albanian: Kisha e Shën Nikollës/Kisha e Shna Kollit), former Selimije Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Selimies), or Church-Mosque of Lezhë (Kisha-Xhami) is a ruined historic church where the remains of Skanderbeg are said to be preserved in Lezhë, Albania.

The Church was located in the interior part of an Illyrian City which was later reconstructed by the Romans, in the 1st century BC.

Evidence for this is the "Gaviarius" (Gaviarivs) Stone in front of the entrance, which was unearthed during the Archaeological Excavations in 1975-1980 by Frano Prendi and Koço Zheku.

When the Ottoman Turks conquered Albania, the church got plundered,[citation needed] and they turned it into a mosque by adding a dikka, a mihrab and a large minaret.

[2][dubious – discuss] The St. Nicolas' Church was rebuilt by the Ottomans elsewhere in return as a gesture of tolerance towards Christians.
