Source material identifies a site called St. Mary's Monastery (also referenced as Shën Meria / Shën Mihal in some materials) located in Kakome in Vlorë County and records it as a Cultural Monument of Albania. The provided excerpts do not include construction dates, detailed architectural description, or precise coordinates. A secondary source discusses a Church of Shen Meria (St. Mary) described as built by Byzantine ecclesiastic builders in downtown Prizren; because Prizren is in present-day Kosovo, that reference likely concerns a different St. Mary church and should not be taken as a direct attribution for the Kakome monastery without further evidence. The supplied sources do not report the site's present physical condition beyond the implication of ruin/monastic status in the query and do not detail visitor access or preservation activities.
