Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Bijelo Polje

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul (Serbian, Crkva svetih apostola Petra i Pavla) in Bijelo Polje is a medieval Serbian Orthodox church in Montenegro. The building is renowned for its unusual architectural composition, combining a relatively small main body with a towering six-story belfry. Constructed in multiple phases from the 6th to the 14th century, the church reflects a blend of pre-Romanesque and Byzantine architectural influences and demonstrates historical connections between Medieval Serbia’s hinterlands and the Adriatic coast. It is notable as the place where Miroslav Gospel, a key work of Serbian literature included in UNESCO’s Memory of the World register of Serbia, was written.
