Podmaine Monastery
Podmaine Monastery
Located near Budva, this Serbian Orthodox monastery serves as a religious site and historical landmark. Founded in the 15th century by the Crnojević family, the grounds feature two distinct churches situated side by side: a smaller original structure from the 15th century and a larger church constructed in 1747.
Getting There
The monastery is situated a short distance from the Budva city centre. Visitors can reach the site via a brief taxi ride or a walk of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the starting point within the town.
Visit Duration
Allow roughly 45 to 90 minutes to walk through the grounds and view the two churches.
When to Visit
Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon typically avoids the peak heat of the summer months. During the height of the tourist season, the area around Budva becomes crowded, though the monastery grounds generally remain quieter than the main beaches.

Due to its location, the monastery can be paired with other nearby points of interest:
- Budva Riviera (1.5km)
- Church of St. Trinity (2.3km)
- Podlastva Monastery (3.2km)
- Sveti Nikola Island (3.5km)
