Albania is a country of peaceful religious coexistence for centuries. Orthodox, Catholic, Muslim and Bektashin have lived together in Albania, following their rituals and customs. The unique harmony of religious coexistence over the years has bequeathed many cultural monuments, churches, mosques, tekkes and monasteries, from the Byzantine and Ottoman times to the more recents.
