The Cave of Saint Blaise (Albanian: Shpella e Shën Vlashit) is a small cave in Laç, Albania. It is thought to have been the place where Saint Blaise lived, and is a major pilgrimage center. The cave is close the Saint Anthony Church, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and built in 1556. According to Elsie, Saint Blaise is not to be confused with Saint Blaise of Armenia, but it is a local person, who was tortured in Durrës and died in Ragusa.
