The Church of St. Kolli is located in the village of Kurjan, near the municipality of Roskovec, and was declared a Cultural Monument, category I, on January 15, 1963. This church dates back to the 13th–14th centuries and was built in the Byzantine style, having in the past a dome over a drum, typical of Orthodox churches of that period. Over the centuries, the dome collapsed and was replaced with a wooden and tiled roof.
The interior of the church preserves frescoes and wall paintings created around 1576–1578 by the iconographer Nikolla Onufri, the son of the famous iconographer Onufri, and his assistant Joan. This makes the church not only a religious site, but also an important artistic and cultural value for the Albanian iconographic tradition.
