The Church of the Apostle Paul and Saint Astitus was built between 1994 and 2002 and consecrated on May 3, 2009. The apostle is considered the first Christian preacher in northern Illyria. A church was built in his memory on the edge of Cape Paulus, today Kehis i Pallys. Saint Astitus is the first martyr, martyred in 100 AD in Durres during the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117).
