The Church of St. Mary in Punta is situated in the old town of Budva. The edifice was built by the Benedictines in 840 according to the inscription on the inner side of the Northern façade. In the 13th century it became Franciscan. It is a single nave edifice with a rectangular apse and a gothic vault and leans against the city walls of Budva. A bell tower was added later above the apse, which lies in the North. In the 17th century further changes were made. The entrance to the church is in the East. The altar of the church once housed the famous miraculous icon of the Madonna in Punta or the so-called "Our Lady of Budva" (13th to 14th centuries). According to the Greek inscription on the icon it was transferred to the Church of St. John the Baptist in 1807 (prior to the siege by the French army), where the icon is still kept today. It is considered to be a miraculous icon, which is protecting the old town of Budva.
