The cathedral was consecrated on the 20th anniversary of Mother Teresa's passing.
The structure was designed by the Rome-based architectural firm Guardini and Ricci.
The building's height and tower were strategically designed to be visible from various points across the Pristina basin.
The cathedral includes a large assembly space capable of holding thousands of congregants.
The project was initiated as a collaboration between the local Catholic community and the Kosovo government to symbolize national unity.
The Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa is the primary Roman Catholic place of worship in Pristina, Kosovo. The structure is built in a modern, Italian-influenced neo-Renaissance style. Construction began in 2007, with its official consecration taking place in 2017. The cathedral serves as the seat of the Apostolic Administration of Prizren-Pristina. Its design features a prominent 70-meter bell tower that serves as a landmark for the city skyline. The interior houses intricate stained glass windows and religious murals. It serves as a symbol of religious harmony in a predominantly Muslim-majority nation. The facility occupies a significant footprint along the city's main pedestrian boulevard.
