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.
