Summary/Abstract: This article gives e concise overview about the ecclesiastical monuments of medieval Shkodra. Before the Ottoman conquest, the City of Shkodra (Skodra/Scutari) had many churches and chapels and the researchers qualified it as an important centre of Albanian Catholic clergy in the Middle Age. The churches of Shkodra were thick-walled and so far we know this city had a large number of churches and monasteries. Besides the aforementioned churches, I have found traces of other anonymous churches, about which we don’t know today what was their name. Among them there are others, which cannot be localized, where they were in the city.
