Church of St Sunday (Sveta Nedjelja) Tivat Bay by Flavia Brilli
Translated as either 'Holy Sunday, 'Saint Nedelya, or even as 'Saint Sunday', this orthodox church, built in 1867, sits on the crest of a mountain overlooking Tivat Bay close to Kamenari village. Even though today the meaning appears to refer to the holiness of the day of Sunday, it may have originally referred to the martyr Saint Kyriaki, or ultimately to Jesus Christ.

Church of Jovan and St Ivan
Situated in the Tivat village Bogisici on the Lustica Peninsula, only a smalll fence separates today these two ancient churches. Though the precise dates of these churches remains unknown, the Church of St. Ivan is known to be the oldest since medieval frescoes found inside are evidence of its earlier construction.
