Maligrad (Template:Lang-sq, also Qytet i Vogël "small city"; Template:Lang-mk, Mal Grad "small city/town") is an island situated deep within the Albanian part of Lake Prespa, with many caves suitable for wildlife and a circular cliff.[1] Shaped like a tadpole, it contains some trees and an area of sand. The island contains a famous Saint Mary Church, built by Kesar Novak (Qesar Novaku), a local noble, in 1369.[2] It has an area of almost 5 hectares.
