Church of the Holy Trinity
Nineteenth-century Orthodox church on the main square of Budva's walled Old Town.
Orthodox Church inside Budva Old Town
The Church of the Holy Trinity occupies a prominent position on a small public square situated within the Old Town walls, positioned directly opposite the Citadela fortress entrance. The church was constructed in 1804 and displays architectural characteristics of the Byzantine style, featuring distinctive alternating horizontal bands of pink and grey stone across its exterior walls. This colour-banding pattern creates a visually distinctive appearance within the surrounding Old Town architecture. The building represents the most prominent Orthodox church structure within the walled Old Town quarter. The interior contains a gilded iconostasis, an ornamental wooden screen displaying religious imagery, and several religious icons dated to the early nineteenth century. The iconostasis features gold leaf work and represents significant craftsmanship from the period. Visitors may enter the church freely during non-service times; there is no admission fee. Access is restricted or limited during active religious services and ceremonies. The church functions regularly as a venue for Orthodox religious services and also sees frequent use for wedding ceremonies, particularly during summer months and weekends. Saturday afternoons witness high wedding activity, resulting in the surrounding square becoming filled with wedding guests. This activity may render photography of the church façade difficult during peak wedding hours on Saturdays. Worship hours are posted at the entrance.
