Description

The Church of St. Peter is located in Bogdašići near Kotor. It was built on the fundaments of an older church in the year 1269 by Bishop Neofil of Zeta. It is a single-nave Benedictine Church with Gothic vaults, semicircular apse, rectangular chapels in the North and the South and a bell-tower in the West. In the Southern chapel frescoes in Byzantine style have been discovered. The church represents the simplest form of the Raška style. Inside the church in the Southern wall is a Latin inscription naming the artisan Regolus. Beside the church entrance in the West is a Serbian inscription naming the ktetor Neofil and the year 1269.
