This one is one of the oldest churches in the coastal region. Originally it was a cathedral that was damaged in the earthquake. Next to the church, there is the former Bishop’s court complex The church is amazing both inside and outside. As the whole of the city.

Originally built during the 7th Century it served as a Cathedral until 1828 when the Diocese of Budva was abolished. Some reconstruction took place after the earthquake of 1667. The high tower was erected in 1867 and is the dominant feature of the old town. Church houses a very modern looking altar, a mural glass mosaic created in the 1970s.

Church of Saint John the Baptists is Budva's largest church built around the 12th century serving as a Catholic cathedral until 1828. Parts of it possibly date from as early as the 9th century, and the last earthquake revealed the foundations of an early Christian basilica beside it. A side chapel houses the Madonna of Budva – a 12th-century icon venerated by Catholic and Orthodox Budvans alike.

Can take pictures freely. The Orthodox Church next door if far more beautiful.

This is a centuries old basilica with a landmark bell tower illuminated at night. The alter has a striking glass mosaic that is different from frescos commonly seen in similar churches. The church is not ornate but displays a peaceful simplicity and beauty. It is a small church which is worth visiting. The entry is free of charge.

The old town of Budva has the Orthodox and Catholic churches almost next to each other. This one is Roman Catholic.The main altar fresco is very interesting and not usual for this architecture.
