Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa

A modern church in the capital

The Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa stands in central Prishtina, close to the university quarter and NEWBORN. Built in honour of Mother Teresa on the centenary of her birth, it is a major part of the capital’s contemporary skyline, with a tall façade and twin towers that can be seen from surrounding streets.

Architecture, worship and the city

The cathedral is both an active Catholic place of worship and an architectural stop within a mixed central cityscape. Its scale and exterior make a useful contrast with the nearby National Library’s modernist form. Visitors interested in the building should remember that religious services take priority over sightseeing.

Keep access current

Where tower access or interior visiting is available, it offers a different perspective on central Prishtina; availability is not guaranteed and should be checked locally. Dress and behave respectfully, especially during worship. Pair the visit with the National Library and NEWBORN for a concise walk through modern Prishtina.
