The paleochristian basilica on a hill by pretty Lin village, on a peninsula 20km north of Pogradec on the western lakeshore, may no longer have any roof or walls, it does retain some stunning mosaics dating to the 6th century. Similar in style to the early medievalmosaics in Ohrid, just across the lake, biblical scenes, flowers, animals, and many other things are depicted on the old church floor, some in very good condition. Unfortunately, the whole complex is protected by a hideous modern concrete roof. Lin is along the road and railway between Pogradec and Elbasan. A taxi from Pogradec to Lin and back will cost around 1500 lek. Always call ahead to be sure that the site is open.

Admission 200 lek.
