The St. Anthony Church (Albanian: Kisha e Shna Ndout or Kisha e Laçit), is a church first built in 1300, then destroyed in 1971, and eventually rebuilt in the 1990s in the Albanian town of Laç. The site of the church was first built around year 1300, and dedicated to St. Mary, then renamed after Anthony of Padua in 1557. In 1971 it was destroyed by the communist regime, and eventually was rebuilt in the 1990s. It is a Franciscan church. Many renowned clergy have served in the church, including Shtjefën Gjeçovi, Vinçens Prennushi, Klement Miraj, Robert Ashta, and Zef Pllumi. The Church of Laçi, known as a Paleo-Christian church, is located in the east of the city, at the beginning of the bread fields. The church is one soul. The structural walls at a height of about 1 m, with a length of 7.50 m and a width of 5 m, remain from it. On the west side there is an apse raised for 1 m. On the outside of the church, three sides of walls are visible, while the northern wall has been destroyed to the foundations. The walls of the church are made of hewn stones of different sizes. In fact, there are no such stones in this village, so they may have been brought from another place, but even the villagers themselves do not know where they were brought from. The church has its own walled courtyard visible from the ruins. On the front side of a stone set in the ruins of the courtyard wall is an engraving of the Star of David. More precisely, the decorated star is placed inside a circle placed in a frame. Even in the interior of the six rows, there is one such 6-pointed star. The frame, on the other side, is decorated with triangles that are opposite each other. On the back side, the stone has a cross in the form of a sign of negation, or an inverted L, because the rest is missing, because the stone is broken and the full shape of the cross has not been found.
