Description

Church A is situated in Ratac between the cities of Sutomore and Bar. It belongs to a monastery complex. The church was built in the second half of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. It is a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse on its Eastern end. The church has a ground-level crypt modelled according to the Early Christian, two-storey mausoleums. The remains of plaster indicate that the church was fresco decorated.
