It is conceived as a complex of buildings and auxiliary facilities, consisting of the seat of the Holy Synod, with the central administrative offices of the Orthodox Autocephalous Church of Albania, conference rooms, museum and archive space, etc.
The centre piece of the complex is the cathedral itself, a true Byzantine traditional shape converted into a modern design. The image of Christ Pantokrator laid in mosaics dominates the dome of the church. The marble iconostasis and the fine icons deserve attention. At the cathedral’s side raises a chapel decorated with beautiful frescoes.
