Description
The Church of St. Peter in Bijela was probably built in the Early Christian period (probably in the 5th or 6th century). Fragments of plaster indicate that a pre-Romanesque building was erected on the basis of the original church, which has not been researched so far. For these fragments it could be assumed that they belong to the remains of the former Benedictine Monastery of St. Peter de Campo, which is also mentioned in the charter of Pope Clement VI (1342-1352) from 1345. After the demolition of the church, the present-day church of St. Peter was built by the family Burović from Perast, and some parts of the pre-Romanesque altar screen have been preserved and included in it.
