Budva, Church of St. Mary (in the Castello) Place The Church of St. Mary (in the Castello) is situated in the citadel of the old town of Budva, to the South-West of the Church of St. John the Baptist. It was built in the period of Late Antiquity (remains are still visible) and was later renewed. Several stages of development can be observed. The three-nave basilica was built in the late 5th and the beginning of the 6th century. In the 9th century it was turned into a single nave edifice, and galleries were to be found above the aisles. The remains of the church furnishing from the 9th century prove that the church was still in use at that time. Today the church is in ruins.
Novi Bar, Church Place The church in Novi Bar has two phases of construction. In the first phase a triconchos was built in the 6th century. The second phase is a single nave edifice dated to the 11th century. The older building was demolished before the 11th century, and in the middle part of the triconchos and in the Eastern apse a smaller pre-Romanesque church was built. When the Church of St. Theodore was erected in Stari Bar, a mosaic floor from the triconchos edifice, which had already been in ruins at that time, was transferred.
Zaton, Church of St. John the Baptist Place The Church of St. John the Baptist in Zaton on the River Lim near Bijelo Polje is a trefoil church built in the 9th or the 10th century, was destroyed in the 14th century and again in the 20th century. Finally, it was rebuilt in the 21st century. The similarity with the Church of St. Panteleimon in Ohrid indicates that it was probably erected during the reign of Tsar Samuel. The ground plan indicates a single nave church with square base and three conchae on its Eastern, Northern and Southern sides. Fragments of fresco decoration and a stone slab floor were found. Researchers believe that the church was fresco decorated in the time of the Serbian Prince Miroslav (reigned 1162-1190).
