The photo shows the Church of St. John the Baptist in the village of Boričje (municipality of Plužine).
Its location in the photo is truly spectacular – it is located on the very ridge/elevation above the canyon, with a village cemetery in the immediate vicinity and a view of the beer fields below.
Here are the key details about her:
Year of construction: The church was built in 1884.
Dedication: It is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist (birth or beheading).
History and suffering: During the 20th century, especially after the Second World War and the strong earthquake that hit Montenegro in 1979, the church suffered great damage and lay in ruins for many years.
Renovation: Thanks to the efforts of the residents of Boričje and the people of the Piva region, the temple was completely renovated and put back into a religious function.
By the way, the village of Boričje is located on the Piva mountain, at an altitude of about 1,200 to 1,300 meters, and the very position of the church on this cliff makes it one of the most picturesque motifs of the area.
