The Church of Saint Demetrius in the village of Brajići (above Budva) represents a significant cultural, historical and spiritual heritage of Paštrović and this part of Montenegro.
Here is key information about this shrine:
Location: It is located in the old village of Brajići, located on the historic road connecting Budva and Cetinje. It is surrounded by a village cemetery and old trees, which gives it an authentic mountain ambience.
History and tradition: The church originates from an older period, and throughout the centuries it was the spiritual center and the main gathering place for the inhabitants of this tribe. Due to its historical and architectural importance, the complex is protected as a cultural monument (which can be seen by the sign on the entrance gate in the photo).
Architecture: It was built in the traditional coastal-mountain style of hewn stone. It is characterized by a single-nave base, with a low dome and a characteristic tall steeple above the western entrance.
Temple glory: It is dedicated to the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius, so on the Mitrovdan holiday (November 8), locals and believers traditionally gather in it.
