St. Cosmas' and St. Mary's Church, Kolkondas

St. Cosmas' and St. Mary's Church (Albanian: Kisha e Shën Kozmait dhe Shën Mërisë) is a church in Kolkondas, Fier County, Albania.

It is a Cultural Monument of Albania,[1] and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and to Cosmas of Aetolia.

In 1813, Ali Pasha, the de facto independent Muslim Albanian ruler of Ottoman Epirus, southern Albanian and Macedonia, and an enemy of the Sultan, had a church built near the site of Kosmas' execution, in which the remains of Kosmas were placed.

[2] Later on in 1984, the relics of St. Cosmas were transferred to the archaeological museum of Fier.
