The Church of St. Sabbas is situated in the old town (stari grad) of Budva and was consecrated in 1142. At that time, St. Sabbas was a patron saint of Budva, whose cult had come to the Southern Adriatic from the East through the Byzantine dignitaries, who had served in the theme of Dalmatia. It is a single nave building leaning against the town wall, vaulted, with the interior divided into three bays. Its facade is constructed with alternating blocks of greyish and rose-coloured stone. The entrance to the church lies in the West.
