Church Sv.Nikola-Gornji Kokoti

The photo shows the Church of St. Nicholas, located on Bogomolja hill in the Gornji Kokoti settlement (not far from Podgorica, in Lješanska nahija, Montenegro).

Here is key information about the church and location:

Purpose: It is an old Orthodox burial church around which there is a village cemetery where the inhabitants of Gornji Kokota are traditionally buried.

Architecture: It was built in the traditional coastal-Montenegrin style of hewn stone, with a single nave base and a characteristic belfry "on a horseshoe" with one bell above the entrance door.
