Construction began in 2007, and the cathedral was officially opened on September 5, 2010, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth. It was later fully consecrated in 2017.
The architecture is modern with elements of traditional church design, and the interior is bright and spacious. One of its standout features is the bell tower, which is open to visitors and offers a panoramic view of the city.

Designed by Croatian architect Andrija Mutnjaković and opened in 1982, the building features a mix of brutalist and Byzantine styles, with 99 white domes on the roof and a metal net covering the entire structure.

From a distance, the pins form a large portrait, but up close, you can see each individual pin, symbolizing both the collective and individual stories of the women. It’s a powerful and emotional reminder of what many women endured, and it honors their courage and strength.

Initially painted bright yellow, on the day it was revealed, thousands of people signed it to show their support. Since then, the monument has been repainted every year on Independence Day, often with different themes to reflect political or social messages—like flags of countries that recognized Kosovo or topics like peace, environment, or youth.
