Podmaine Monastery
Manastir Podmaine
An Orthodox monastery at the foot of the hills north of Budva's town, famous for its frescoes and palm courtyard, and very close to the city.
Podmaine Monastery was built in the 15th century on the hillside north of Budva's town. In the 19th century, the Montenegrin ruler and poet Petar II Petrović-Njegoš lived here. The complex includes a small Church of the Assumption and a larger, newer church, with well-preserved frescoes inside and old palm trees in the courtyard. Visitors are few and the atmosphere is peaceful, with views over Budva and its bay. Entry is free, but dress appropriately. Getting there: about 5 minutes by taxi from the city center, or about 30 minutes' walk uphill.
