In the vicinity of Budva: the best car routes

Monastery Stanevichi

One of the amazing sights in the vicinity of Budva is the Stanevichi Monastery. It is located near the village of Pobori at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. The history of the shrine began in the fourteenth century, when the church of St. George was built on the top of Dzhurzhevets. There was a period when these territories belonged to Venice, and later to Austria. It was here that the nephew Peter II Petrovich Negosh wrote his poem “Rays of the Microcosm”. The monastery was gradually gaining popularity and once enlighteners Vuk Karadzic and Dosifei Obradovich even visited here. Over time, the Austrians chose the territory, turning the monastery into a massive fortress, which was designed to protect them from the Montenegrins. Only a few decades ago, a car route was laid here, and the place became one of the favorite among locals and tourists.

Boka Kotorska Bay

Years passed, and the church with each new brick took shape. The shrine was built in the Byzantine style, and inside is decorated with paintings, icons.
