The ruins of the Bishopric of Sapa, Nenshat

The ruins of the Ipeshkvi of Sapa are located at the foot of Mount Saint Mehill above the village of Nënshat, Municipality of Vau-Dejes. The ruins were declared a protected area in July 2016. They are next to the monastery of the Carmelite sisters above the village of Nënshat.
As part of the fortification of the city, the Diocese of Sapa with a history of over 950 years was also located inside it.

The first records of the city are mentioned by the Annual of the Holy See, from the year 1062. The city was raised in the interior of Mount Saint Mihill on a natural terrace of about 30 m, without reaching the top of the mountain, giving it a protection of safe from attacks. Later, according to the documents of the time, it is Helena of Rasha who, together with the Bishop of Tivar, begs the Pope to declare the city of Sapa a new Diocese together with the area of Zadrima. In 1292, the city burned and was destroyed by the incursions of the Tartars in the Balkans.

The reconstruction of only a part of the city's fortress began around 1491, where the new Diocese would have under its jurisdiction that of Danje and Sarda, which were also destroyed. Around 1860, Ipeshkvia was rebuilt at the foot of the mountain, where it continues to be today.
Today, from the entire complex of the Bishopric of Sapa, only the front facade is preserved, which has an influential Gothic style architecture. It is made of hewn stones placed in an orderly manner, with decorative elements and above the main gate a rosette is kept in good condition.
