Bijela, Church of St. Peter

The Church of St. Peter in Bijela was probably built in the Early Christian period (probably in the 5th or 6th century). Fragments of plaster indicate that a pre-Romanesque building was erected on the basis of the original church, which has not been researched so far. For these fragments it could be assumed that they belong to the remains of the former Benedictine Monastery of St. Peter de Campo, which is also mentioned in the charter of Pope Clement VI (1342-1352) from 1345. After the demolition of the church, the present-day church of St. Peter was built by the family Burović from Perast, and some parts of the pre-Romanesque altar screen have been preserved and included in it.

It is a single nave edifice with a triconchal plan, with an apse which is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. The roof was wooden.

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.

The remains of the Monastery of St. Peter de Campo are situated on the edge of Dižvar field and to the South of the village of Bihovo, near Trebinje. The complex consisted of two churches dedicated to St. Peter (rebuilt in 1906) and St. Paul (remains), monastery walls and a necropolis (stećci). Not much is known regarding the time, in which this monastery was erected. The Bishopric of Trebinje is first mentioned in a letter of Pope Benedict VIII (1012-1024) in 1022, which indicates that the monastery was erected prior to this date. In the "Letopis popa Dukljanina" it is stated that Radoslav, the brother of the Dioclean ruler Mihailo Vojisavljević (reigned ca. 1046-1081), was buried here. Mavro Orbini reports that the Grand Župan Desa of Raška (reigned 1144-1165) was buried in the Church of St. Paul within this monastery complex.
