Ždrebaonik monastery

Posted by Ivan Stojanovic On 10 March 2010

Manastir Ždrebaonik The monastery Zdreabaonik is located 2 km from Danilovgrad. This monastery, church of Rodjenje Presvete Bogorodice (Birth of the Holy Mother of God) was raised by Sveti Stefa Piperski (St. Stephen from Piperi) in 1637. The monastery grew from hermit cell of this saint.

The renewal of the monastery begun on 1994, and what is really important to point out is that for a long time there is an idea of connecting monasteries of Ostrog and Zdrebaonik with a direct road, and those works have begun. Its termination is expected to happen soon.

To the monastery Zdrebaonik you can come through Danilovgrad and then over the bridge on Zeta towards the village Sekulici (turning right on the crossroad after the bridge, and after the crossing of the railroad you turn again right), and then you go towards the village Jelenak. Here is a sign, which is not so easily visible so you should pay a little attention on the road signs.

Posted by Ivan Stojanovic On 24 February 2010

Santa Maria In Punta The oldest church with the precise date of constructing in Budva is crunch of St. Mary’s. It’s placed in Old Town of Budva. This is a short Latin inscription in stone about the building of a church in 840. Today it survives incorporated in the north wall of St. Mary’s – one of the oldest known, accurately dated, medieval inscriptions on the eastern Adriatic coast. It is believed that it refers to the church of St. Mary cited in later written sources. It is not known where the church was located; possibly it was even an adaptation of the diocesan basilica.
The small town of Budva did not preserve many records of its appearance in the Middle Ages. Material remains confirm continuity of habitation in the town. For this period there are the remains of ecclesiastical buildings, and something an be concluded on the basis of the medieval walls.

Saint John church

Posted by Ivan Stojanovic On 12 February 2010

Crkva Svetog Ivana One of the most famous churches in Budva is the Catholic church of St. John , the seat of the diocese until 1828. It is not clear when the church was built. Its appearance and condition today are probably the result of renovation after the great earthquake. This is a triple-aisle, vaulted building, with lateral expansion before the sanctuary. On the north side a bell-tower was built, finished in 1867, like Dalmatian belfries of the period. To the south stands a building that first served as the bishop’s palace, executed in rough, almost rustic neo-Gothic technique, Gothic windows. This is obviously a reflection of 19th century romantic concepts in architecture.

Church of St. Luke

Posted by Ivan Stojanovic On 6 February 2010

Crkva Svetog Luke The Church of St. Luke is located in the Piazza Greca in Kotor. Its history witnesses of the harmonic coexistence of the Catholic and Orthodox population. It is a Romanesque building, of modest and proportional dimensions. It was built and painted at the end of the 12th century. Until the end of the 17th century it was a Catholic church, after which it was ceded to the Orthodox population, due to wars and the large influx of people into Kotor. Originating from that period is the iconostasis, work of famous local masters, parts of which were created by Kotor’s famous goldsmiths.
