Assassin's Creed Shadows All Shrines Locations

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has 27 Shrine locations. Each shrine requires you to pray at a few smaller shrines within the area.

On the map they are indicated by white question marks which turn into orange  shrine icons when going near them. Hold L2/LT to look for the shrines, they will appear as white dots. When you look from a rooftop you can easily spot the white dots from far away. Simply interact with all the shrines to pray. They reward you with a knowledge point and XP.
