Shkoder Cathedral, also known as St Stephen's Catholic Cathedral or Kisha e Madhe (the Great Church) is a cathedral in the city of Shkoder in northwestern Albania. The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Saint Stephen. During the Siege of Shkoder (1912-1913) the cathedral was damaged by the Montenegrin army, particularly the south east side, causing fire in the bell tower. The Cathedral was closed in 1967 and reopened in 1990. Legend has it that the discussion on the size of the cathedral was decided upon the agreement that the size should be as long the throwing of a string built by the stripes of one skinned cow. Gjergj Nike Sheldija, who was present in that discussion, has told that the string was firstly taken into the hands of the Shkoder's W?li, who put it into his little finger and threw it.
