The Church of St. John the Baptist is situated in the old town of Budva and was erected in the 7th century. It was reconstructed multiple times. The church was initially built as a rotunda and later transformed into a single nave edifice. On the Southern side, above the chapels on the ground floor, a two-storey episcopal palace was erected, and on the Northern side, from the square base, rises a bell tower with a clock (refurbished in 1850). The church houses the famous miraculous icon of the Madonna in Punta or the so-called "Our Lady of Budva" (13th to 14th centuries), which was brought to the Church of St. John the Baptist from the Church of St. Mary in Punta. Remains of fresco decoration from the 14th century are still visible on the inner Northern wall. The church has two side chapels, one in the North, the other in the South. The Northern side chapel houses the miraculous icon of the Madonna in Punta. Today the Church of St. John the Baptist is a Roman Catholic church. Immediately to the South of the episcopal palace an Early Christian basilica from the 5th and 6th centuries was excavated.
