This Roman Catholic cathedral (Katedralja e Zojës Ndihmëtare, Katedrala Gospe od Neprestane Pomoći) shares with the Cathedral of St. Mother Teresa in Pristina the title of the seat of the Diocese of Prizren-Pristina, created in 2018, which covers the territory of Kosovo. It was erected from 1865, following a permission from the Ottoman authorities granted through the Italian Archbishop of Skopje and the Austro-Hungarian consul of Prizren. On this site were the ruins of a 10th century church which served as a place of execution. It was in the cathedral, completed around 1870, that Nikolla Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa's father, was baptised in 1874. The building is a Romanesque basilica with three naves and a bell tower on the southeast side. It was designed by the Croatian architect and monk Thomas Glasnović on the model of the church of St. Chrysogonus in Zadar (12th century). The interior is decorated with frescoes executed in 1878-1883 by two unknown artists: the Austrian painter Simchowitz and the Albanian monk Gjergj Panariti from Korça. The latter is credited with the bust portrait of Skanderbeg that appears at the top right of the altar. The cathedral also houses a relic of St Nicetas of Remesiana (335-414), a Dardanian bishop of Dacia (Serbia). Among the neighbouring buildings are the bishop's palace, the presbytery, the Semenishta Catholic school, a congregation of nuns and an office of the Caritas association.

Nous n'y sommes pas entré, mais l'extérieur est à la fois massif et joli. La place où elle se trouve est très calme.
