Bogdašići, Church of St. Peter Place The Church of St. Peter is located in Bogdašići near Kotor. It was built on the fundaments of an older church in the year 1269 by Bishop Neofil of Zeta. It is a single-nave Benedictine Church with Gothic vaults, semicircular apse, rectangular chapels in the North and the South and a bell-tower in the West. In the Southern chapel frescoes in Byzantine style have been discovered. The church represents the simplest form of the Raška style. Inside the church in the Southern wall is a Latin inscription naming the artisan Regolus. Beside the church entrance in the West is a Serbian inscription naming the ktetor Neofil and the year 1269.
Skadar, Church of the Sts. Sergius and Bacchus Place The Church of the Sts. Sergius and Bacchus, a Benedictine Monastery, is situated at the Bojana River in the vicinity of Skadar. According to the Chronicle of Bar, the church was the mausoleum of the Vojislavljević dynasty in the 11th century. Two inscriptions in Latin have remained that mention the name of the Serbian Queen Jelena Anžujska (ca. 1230-1314) dated to 1290 and 1318 respectively, which highlight her and her son, the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321), as ktetors probably in the time of the renewal of the church. It is a three nave edifice and each nave ends with a semicircular apse in the East. Unfortunately, the church has been gradually ruined by the Bojana River.
