For centuries Korçë has been an important religious centre for both Orthodox Christians and Muslims, hosting a significant Orthodox community as well as significant Sunni and Bektashi communities in and around the city.
The main centre of the Bektashis of the area is the Turan Tekke.
In modern days, there are also smaller numbers of Catholics and Protestants in the city, as well the irreligious.
The second Albanian Protestant church was opened in Korçë.
In 1940, Korçë's Evangelical Church was closed down by the Italian fascist forces.

The city was initially part of the Metropolis of Kastoria (15th century), but in the early 17th century became the seat of an Orthodox bishop and in 1670 was elevated to metropolitan bishopric.
The city remained entirely Christian until the first half of the 16th century.
The Orthodox cathedral of saint George, a significant landmark in the city, was demolished by the authorities of the People's Republic of Albania during the atheistic campaign.
Funding for the construction of an Orthodox church came from Romanian and Aromanian businessmen.

Islam entered the city in the 15th century through Iljaz Hoxha, an Albanian jannissary, who actively participated in the Fall of Constantinople.
One of the oldest mosques in Albania was built by Iljaz Hoxha in 1484, the Iliaz Mirahori Mosque.
The Romani population of Korçë consists of Muslims, who in the 1920s maintained their own mosques in the city, while there are also Orthodox Christian Roma in the city's Varosh neighbourhood.
