Church of the Holy Trinity, Budva

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a significant religious and cultural landmark with a rich history and architectural charm. Following the decline of the Venetian Republic in 1797, the Austrian authorities granted permission for the construction of the Church of the Holy Trinity in response to the Orthodox Christian population's request. This project received support from the Bishop of Montenegro. The church's construction was successfully completed in 1804, marking the beginning of its historical journey.

The Church of the Holy Trinity is characterized by its distinctive architectural elements. It boasts a prominent dome and a bell loft housing three bells, which contribute to its visual identity. The church's facade is adorned with intricate detailing, including a rosette positioned above the western entrance. These decorative elements add to the church's aesthetic appeal.

The church's interior features an exquisite iconostasis created by Greek iconographers in the 19th century. This iconostasis is not only a religious focal point but also a significant work of art with considerable artistic value.

In close proximity to the church, visitors can find the tombstone of Stefan Mitrov Ljubisa, a prominent author and politician who hailed from Budva. This memorial serves as a tribute to his contributions and legacy.
