Description
The Church of St. Peter is situated within the Monastery of St. Peter de Campo, on the edge of Dižvar field and to the South of the village of Bihovo near Trebinje. It was built probably at the end of the 11th century (around 1080?). The remains of the church were demolished in 1906, and a new building was erected. It had a cruciform plan (cross inscribed in a single nave basilica) with a semicircular apse on its Eastern end, with chapels situated on the North-Western and South-Western parts of the church and a narthex. It had a wooden roof. Inside the church thirteen graves were found. One gravestone mentions Prince Sramko, which is dated to the end of the 12th century.
