Scuola degli Albanesi
The facade of the former Scola degli Albanesi. It depicts the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II laying siege to the Albanian town of Scutari (then under Venetian rule). The siege failed and the Latin inscription thanks the Venetian government for its help.

The Scuola di Santa Maria degli Albanesi (School of Holy Mary of the Albanians in English; Shkolla e Shën Mërisë së Arbërorëvet in Albanian) was a confraternity, a Scuola Piccola, for Albanian Christians Catholics (Greek-Byzantine and Roman-Latin), in Venice, northern Italy. Its building subsists.
