Description of the attraction
The Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity is located on Starogradskaya Square in the center of Budva Old Town. The City Archaeological Museum is located here, directly opposite the temple.
The building of the church was erected by numerous requests of representatives of the Orthodox confession at the beginning of the 19th century. The temple is perfectly preserved and even despite serious restoration work after the devastating earthquake in 1979, the temple looks great today. The architectural style of the building gravitates to the Byzantine style, which was characterized by the construction of domes and vaults.
The Budva Church of the Holy Trinity is an exact copy of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Podgorica. Both temples are built of stone, in two color combinations - red and white, the stripes of which alternate during the laying of the walls. The high bell tower is crowned with three bells.
The modest appearance is offset by the luxurious interior decoration of the Holy Trinity Church. Inside there is a tall baroque iconostasis by the Greek artist Naum Zetiri. Colorful mosaics and frescoes with gilding cannot be ignored - they are located above the entrance to the temple.
A famous Montenegrin writer and public figure rests next to this church. This is the grave of Stefan Mitrov Lyubisha, a Budvan fighter for the people's freedom - Dalmatia, who lived in the 19th century.
