Shkodër Cathedral, also known as St Stephen's Catholic Church or the Kisha e Madhe ("Grand Church"), is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Stephen in the city of Shkodër in northwestern Albania. Begun in 1867, it is built of brick in the Romanesque Revival style and stands 23 metres tall. During the Siege of Scutari (1912–1913) the Montenegrin army damaged it, causing a fire in the bell tower. It was closed in 1967 and reopened in 1990.
