Saint Mary’S Monastery Church in Ardenicë represents one of the largest religious buildings in the area of Myzeqe. The church is built in a dominant position on a high hill, on one side of which lies the wide area of Myzeqe field, while on the other side you can see the Adriatic Sea. Located between the villages of Kolonjë and Libofshë, it was a culminating station, in constant contact with the economic and social aspect of these two areas. Southern branch of Via Egnatia traverses the western side of the hill, where the monastery is built. The route continued to be used also during the medieval period. The religious site is interesting not only for its monumental values, but also for its rich history. According to historical sources, the monastery was founded during the Despotate of Epirus era. The legends have it that it was the place where the marriage ceremony of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg took place in 1451, while the inscription dated May 1st, 1477 shows the existence of the monastery in that period.  Ardenice Monastery represents an architectural ensemble with a triangular layout, with the church at its centre. The complex consists of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity in the northeast, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in its southwest and hospices around them, which planning is conditioned by the terrain.
