Know before you go

• Laç, or also Laçi, is a city in northwestern Albania. It is the administrative center of the Kurbin District, which is part of Lezhë County. Known as "Kisha e Laçit" in Albanian, this church is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. Fernando Martins de Bulhões, venerated as Anthony of Padua or Anthony of Lisbon (1190 or 1195 - 13 June 1231), is a Catholic saint born in Lisbon, Portugal, to a wealthy family who died in Padua, Italy. This church is the most important place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of people who visit this holy place every year on 13 June and on Saturdays, as well as throughout the year. It is the most important pilgrimage place in Albania. It is believed to have a much older history as a holy place of Pelasgian Illyrian gods at the cave, where it has been visited frequently for millennia.
