Grant Description

Funds support the restoration of the roof of the Church of St. Nicholas.

The Church is the repository of a series of brilliantly colored frescoes painted in 1726 by the famous Albanian artist David Selenica. The frescoes are in danger of being lost due to the fragile nature of the media.
