Shirgj Church

The Shirgj Church (Albanian: Kisha e Shirqit/Shirgjit), also known as the Monastery of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (Albanian: Manastiri i Shën Shirgjit dhe Bakut), is a ruined former Benedictine monastery in the village of Shirgj on the river Buna in northern Albania. The church was built by Saint Helen of Serbia in 1290, dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus, allegedly on top of a pre-6th century basilica according to circumstantial evidence. However, no archaeological evidence exists of a prior structure.
