The Town of Apollonia was founded in the year 588 B.C. by Greek settlers from Korfu and Korinth. After an earthquake altered the river Vjosë in the 4th century and the repeated invasions of the 4th and 5th century the town got ruined. The extenisve privileges the town received during Roman rule allowed the development of many development and a bishop's see. In the 9th century the Shën Meri Monastery was founded on the territory of the now deserted town.

The town of Balec is said to be inhabited by the Illyrians and then by the Romans. Being destroyed after the arrival of the Slavs, a new town was build on this site, which became the capital of the region and was incorporated into the kingdom of Duklja (Zeta from the 12th century onwards). Here, the bishopric of Palachium was established before 1067. The bishopric had been alternating its status as a suffragan of Dioclea and of Bar until the 15th century. (Könighaus)
The Town of Baleco lies now in ruins north of Shkodra. The town is located on the Maja Balezit near the confluence of the rivers Rrjollit and Gropes. The town is described as very vital in the year 1363, but already in 1402 it only has the status of a Pronoia and has in 1416 counted only 25 houses. (FC CVen. di Scut. 101 - cita de Belezo). Baleco can probably identified with Skanderbegs Reç Fortress.

The Town of Bar evolved out of a castle which was rebuilt during the Reign of Justinian. Bar was the center of the increasingly Slavic principality of Zeta and became the part of the Serbian realm in the 12th century. Šufflay described the town as well fortified and home to monuments analogous to those in Ravenna, Ragusa and Zara (AA I, 50 (11); VĆ ŽSN., 32 - civitati namque ... Avarorum.; gradь slav'ny Barь).

Berat was probably founded by king Kassander of Macedonia and named after his father Antipatros. Theodosias II renamed the city to Pulcheropolis. The walls of the town were renovated by Justinian and extended with towers. After the Bulgarian conquest in the year 860, the town was named Beligrad/Belograd from which the name Berat derived. Berat was reintegrated into the Byzantine Empire in the year 1018. The lower towns were fortified in the medieval age. After the Fourth Crusade in 1204 Berat became a part of the Despotate of Epirus and it's capital. Michael II gave Berat to Manfred of Hohenstaufen; after his death it formed part of the Regnum Albaniae. In 1280-81 the region and Berat became again part of the Byzantine Empire and lost in 1345 to Stefan IV Dušan. In the year 1417 Berat was conquered by the Ottomans, who then built the citadel, the lower town and a bazar. During his rebellion, Skanderbeg unsuccessfully besieged Berat (AAI, 55 (13-14) - ad episcopatum Belogradensem; GČ KNS, 87 (48-49) - de Belgrado).

The Church of St. Peter is situated in Bijelo Polje, on the Lim River, and was probably founded by the Serbian Prince Miroslav (reigned 1162-1190) before 1161-1162. It was built on an old place of cult, probably from the 9th or 10th century. (SN ZSp., 596 - koga izvoli Svety Petrь Apostolь; MD Kar. trg., 123, nap 14 - usque Limum ad ecclesiam S. Petri). It is a single nave edifice, with three bays skirted by pilasters and arches, and a rectangular apse. The Eastern and Western bays are almost equal in length, whereas the central one is much shorter and has a transverse barrel vault, in the middle of which is a square dome covered by a pyramidal roof. The construction above the vaults gave the church the look of a three-aisled basilica with a transept and a dome. In the second half of the 13th century the Western porch of the church was turned into a narthex and was painted with frescoes at the beginning of the 14th century. Also, bell-towers were added resembling the Churches of St. Tryphon in Kotor, Djurdjevi Stupovi in Budimlja and the Monastery of the Mother of God in Hvosno. The church furnishings, done in a pre-Romanesque style, were taken from the original (older) building.

The Monastery of Djurdjevi Stupovi (St. George) in situated in Budimlja, near Berane and was built by Stefan Prvoslav, son of Tihomir, as his mausoleum between 1170 and 1190. The monastery also served as see of the Bishops of Budva (Rl. 9, 43). (PJ Š Pam., 68 - sьzyda crьkovь ... u Budimlje svetago Geōrgïa; LjS ZiN I, 1029 (286) episkopь Budimlьsky Teofilь ... vь domu svetago velikago Strastotrьpьca Hristova Georgïa).
The Church underwent several reconstructions but its plan remained the same. It is a single nave edifice with three bays and a dome. Later, in the 13th century (certainly by the 1240s), a narthex was added with two rectangular-based towers in front of it. As most researchers believe it was built by masters from the Adriatic (as seen in polychromic façade), following the model of Apulian Churches. Also, this Church is similar in plan with the Church of St. Luke in Kotor.

Dubrovnik, in Italian Ragusa, port of Dalmatia, in South-Eastern Croatia. Situated on the Southern Adriatic Sea coast, it is usually regarded as the most picturesque city on the Dalmatian coast and is referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic".
Dubrovnik (derived from dubrava in Serbian/Croatian, meaning "grove") occupies a promontory jutting into the sea under the bare limestone mass of Mount Srdj. The port's sea fortifications rise directly from the water's edge, and the massive round tower (completed 1464) of the Minc̆eta Fortress dominates the city on the landward side. The old city of Dubrovnik was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
The city was founded about 614 as Rausa, or Ragusium, by Roman refugees fleeing the Slav and Avar sack of Epidaurus, just to the South-East. A colony of Slavs soon joined the Romans there, and from an early date the city formed a link between two great civilisations. After the fall of Rome, Dubrovnik was ruled by the Byzantine Empire. From the 9th to the 12th century Dubrovnik defended itself against foreign powers, and in the period 1205 to 1358 it acknowledged Venetian suzerainty, though it retained much of its independence. The city-republic was liberal in character, affording asylum to refugees of all nations. In 1272 the city received a statute that incorporated Roman and local practices. Situated at the seaward end of overland trade routes to Byzantium and the Danube region, it became a great mercantile power. Ragusan land trade flourished throughout the Balkans.
In 1420, when Dalmatia was sold to Venice, Dubrovnik remained a free city in all but name. For centuries the people of Dubrovnik were able to preserve their city-republic by skillful maneuvering between East and West. A strategic treaty with Turkey protracted Dubrovnik’s liberty and maintained the opportunity for a major trading role between the Ottoman Empire and Europe.
In 1667 an earthquake destroyed parts of the city, including the cathedral and many monasteries and palaces, and killed as many as 5,000 residents. The republic did not regain its prosperity until the Napoleonic Wars. From 1800 to 1805, as the only neutral Mediterranean state, it secured a large share of the carrying trade. Napoleon I (reigned 1804-1815) subjugated Dubrovnik in 1808, and the Congress of Vienna (1815) gave Dubrovnik to Austria; in 1918 it was incorporated into Yugoslavia.

The town of Dyrrhachion was one of the most important Byzantine strongholds in the Adria from the 6th century to the 12th century. The importance of Dyrrhachion lied in the fact, that it was one of two adriatic heads (the other one was Apollonia) of the Via Egnatia. According to Šufflay, Dyrrhachion is the nucleus of the other fortresses in Northern Albania. The emperors Anastasios, Justin and Justinian issued many building and also the refortification and renovation of the fortifications after the retreat of the Ostrogoths and an earthquake in 518. From the 12th century on until 1501 the town was under changing Byzantine, Norman, Epirotes, Anjou Sicilly, Albanian and Venetian rule. In the year 1394, the Venetians again renewed the fortifications and built a canal to dry the swamps of Balta and transform the peninsula of Dyrrhachion into an island similar to Zara and Trau. The Ottomans conquered the town in 1501. (AA I, 80 (27) - Dalmatia et Dyrrhachio; LjS PP., I, 113 (109) - Duka Drački).

The fortified settlement of Kanina was first mentioned in Procopius' De Aedificiis as Kionin. However, archeological excavation suggest a settlement already in the 3rd century BCE. The fortification had been renovated under the rule of Justinian. Kanina became an ecclesiastical and regional center in the Gulf of Valon in the 9th or 10th century and was designated a bishopric around 1019. The settlement was as part of the Thema of Jericho also the site of battles between the Norman and Byzantine armies, as described by Anna Comnena. The settlement was conquered by the Normans. After the dismantling of the Bishopric of Vlora Kanina became its successor. Kanina became part of the Kingdom of Sicily during the reign of King Manfred of Hohenstaufen (*1232; † 26th of February 1266), and after his death it became part of the realm of Charles of Anjou. In 1284 Kanina again became a part of the Byzantine Empire. In 1345 the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan conquered the region, followed by the Albanian prince Balsha II († 18th of September 1385) in 1372. 1395 the successor of Balsha II tried to sell Kanina to the Venetians for 7000 ducats, this endevour was only successful in 1400. But already in 1417 Kanina became part of the Ottoman Empire. Kanina is economical and political closely connected to Vlora (AA I, 71 (23); KJ Sp., XI, 33 (47); HI SDSArv., 33 - ad partes Canninae; u kulě Kaninьskom; vilayet-i Kaina).

According to Šufflay, Kruja was the town at the centre of the medieval region of Arbanum. The medieval fortress of Kruja was build on a steep hill between the rivers Mat and Išmi. Archaeological excavations have found a 6th to 8th centuries cemetary. Kruja was first mentioned as bishopric see in 879, but it is unclear if the settlement already was fortified. Files of the time of the rule of King Alphonso V of Aragon and Naples suggest that this was a privilege given by Emperor Manuel I Comnenos given in the year 1165. In 1253 Kruja subortinated itself to the Emperor of Nicaea John III Vatatzes but already in 1258 Kruja was conquered by despote Michael II of Epirus and the town became again Byzantine after an Angevin Intermezzo from 1268-1280. Andronikos II Palaiologos granted several privileges to the town and made it the capital of a Byzantine province. 1342 Krja was conquered by Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. After the disintegration of the Serbian empire the local noble family of Thopia ruled over Kruja. After two years under Venetian rule it was ruled by the Ottomans for a short time, before again being independent until 1415 when Kruja was conquered by the Ottomans. Kruja was also the capital of the Skanderbeg rebellion from 1443 onwards. It was three times unsuccessfully besieged by the Ottomans and only fell in 1478 after the death of Skanderbeg (1468). The fortress is quite well preserved, despite an earthquake in 1617 and a part-destruction after an rebellion in the year 1832. Šufflay suggests that Kroja was, like other towns and cities in Illyria and Dalmatia, mainly inhabited by a Romanesque speaking population well into the 12th century. Only after the decay of the Latin population the region became Albanised. Kruja was part of a defensive system for Dhyrrachion/Durres.

The Church of St. Thomas in Kuti near Herceg Novi was probably built in the last quarter of the 11th century. It is a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse in the East as well as with semicircular vaults and a dome, indicating a strong Byzantine influence. Fragments of fresco paintings and stone furnishings have been found. A remaining stone altar screen with two parapets indicates a new, Romanesque style. On the other hand, the fresco decoration (dated to the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century) with heads of Saints points to Byzantine artists, having similarities with the frescoes in the chapel and crypt of the katholikon of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas in Phokis and the Church of St. Nicholas on the island of Koločep. The Church of St. Thomas is in ruins with walls preserved up to a maximum height of ca. 2,5 m.

The town of Leš was a very important town of the Illyrians, sitting between the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Roman Republic. In the 6th century the Bishop of Leš fled from Leš to Calabria after the town was conquered by Avars. In the 9th century Leš became part of the Thema of Dyrrhachion. Anna Comnena praises the strength of the fortress of the town. In the 13th century, Leš was part of the Principality of Albanon and became part of the Serbian Kingdom in 1340. After the death of Emperor Dušan (1355) the Region became independent and was ruled by the Serbian noble family of the Balšić and in 1387 Leš became the capital of the Dukajin Principality. Also in 1436 Cyriacus of Ancona praises the strong walls of Leš. In 1440 the town was hit by a great fire. Leš was ruled by Venice from 1393 until the Ottoman conquest in 1478. After the Venetians were able to reconquest the town for a short time in 1501 they demolished the defensive buildings before they ceded Leš back to the Ottomans.

The Church of the Mileševa Monastery is situated near Prijepolje, in South-West Serbia. The Church of the Ascension of Jesus was built by king Vladislav in 1234 (Teodosije 178; Domentijan 6). Regarding its ground plan, this Church resembles Žiča Monastery, therefore belongs to the Raška style.
In 1236 St Sava died in Turnovo. He was buried in 1237 in the exonarthex of the Mileševa Monastery at which point his cult started to evolve.
Its a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse, with two bays, a dome and a narthex. Above Eastern bay is a dome, and on its sides are rectangular choirs. In 1228 proskomidia and diakonikon were added, probably modeled by the Žiča Monastery. The Church widens from the West Eastward and ends with three altar apses leaning directly on the domed East wall.
The exonarthex have built the same builders who constructed exonarthex and a tower of the Studenica Monastery. It has a catehumeneon and two side chapels, a dome and no windows (in accordance with its purpose).
The entire Church was lavishly decorated with frescoes and sculpture (especially around the portals and windows). Frescoes in the nave, narthex and exonarthex are dated in the 1230s and 1240s. In the 16th century the Church was repainted.
In the exonarthex are famous frescoes with scenes of the Last Judgement, purposefully designed by St. Sava, while he was preparing a grave site for himself.
In 1594 the Turks took away the relics of St Sava and burnt them on the Vračar plateau in Belgrade, probably on the site where today stand the National Library of Serbia and the Church of St. Sava.

The Cetinjski manastir of the Serbian Orthodox Church (Orthodox Metropolis of Montenegro and the Littoral) in the historical capital of Montenegro, Cetinje, houses an renowned and very important treasury, which preserves manuscripts, incunabula, icons, liturgical objects and textiles.
Monastery complex represents a city-fortress and consists of the Church dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin, lodgings and a cemetery surrounded on the West by stone walls.
The Monastery was founded by Prince Ivan Crnojevic of Zeta in 1484 as the cathedral monastery of the Eparchy of Zeta. It is believed that the ktetor was inspired by the Venetian architecture, during his stay in Ancona, and was a three-nave basilica with the dome, with elements of Renaissance architecture.
The Monastery was devastated in 1692 and rebuilt in 1701 by Mitropolitan Danilo Petrovic-Njegos, above the remains of the court of Ivan Crnojevic. It was burnt and reconstructed in 1743 by Metropolitan Sava Petrovic Njegos. By the end of the 18th century the Monastery was devastated once more, rebuilt several more times and finally in 1927 rebuilt for the last time.
The Church of the Bogorodica in Cetinje was built by Ivan Crnojević (ZSp. 778-81 - na mestě glagolěměmь Cětině vь slavu i vь hvalu toe gospožde Matere Božie vь ime Roždьstva).
The Cetinje Monastery was built in 1484 (Marković 150).
The Monastery hosts important relics: right hand of St. John the Baptist, remains of St. Peter of Cetinje, particles of the True Cross, royal crown of Serbian king Stephen Uroš III Dečanski, icon of the Philermos Mother of God, etc.

The Morača Monastery is situated at the valley of the Morača River in the Municipality of Kolašin in Montenegro. It was built by Stefan, Son of Vukan Nemanjić (the Grand Prince of Zeta) and grandson of Stefan Nemanja (ZN 17). The katholikon is dedicated to the Dormition of the Holy Mother of God. It is a single-nave edifice with three bays, narthex and a dome. It has a side chapel dedicated to St. Stephen. All major elements of the Žiča Monastery and the Patriarchate of Peć have merged into this edifice. The main portal is in Romanesque style. The fresco decoration of the 13th century has been poorly preserved (the majority of the decoration was ruined, when the monastery was ravaged by the Ottomans in the 16th century). The church was renovated in the 20th century.

The Church of St. Peter in Ras was built by order of the Serbian Prince Mutimir (reigned 851-891) around 870-890 on a hill of Stari Ras ("Old Ras"), in today’s city of Novi Pazar. (VĐ ŽSN., 18 i 19 - se v'toroje kr'Štenije prijeti ... u V'seslavnyju ... Petra i Pavla). However, the latest research refutes the previous beliefs that the church was built by Prince Mutimir in 870, but much earlier, probably around 820, by Prince Radoslav. It seems that Prince Mutimir restored the building approximately six decades later, making it an episcopal seat (the church was most likely destroyed in one of the two Bulgarian campaigns against Serbia). It was decorated with fresco paintings at the beginning of the 10th century with the merit of the Serbian Prince Petar Gojniković (reigned 892-918).
The building, made from sandstone and travertine, is a rotunda encircling an irregular tetraconch (with the fact that the conch on the Eastern side, intended for the altar space, had a different shape and a larger area than the other three conchs) with vaults in the form of semicircles. Above the central area is a dome which is octagonal on the outside. The Eastern conch served as an altar, while on its Northern, Western and Southern sides the rotunda is embraced by a horseshoe-like ambulatory above which are galleries looking onto the nave, which served as a catechumenate or matroneum. The rotunda constructed on the described foundation was surrounded on all sides, except in the east, by a nave, which was divided by radial walls into five "rooms", interconnected by passages. The outer wall of the nave was adjacent to the circular wall of the rotunda. On the exterior, the edifice resembles pre-Romanesque style, with shallow arched niches placed on the upper part of the drum and the lateral wall of the rotunda, along the apse. Niches can be seen in the interior as well.
The baptismal piscina, hollowed out in front of the southeast pilaster of the rotunda, points to the conclusion that St. Peter's church was partly intended for baptisms. The church simultaneously functioned as a court chapel.
The only preserved sculptural decorations inside and around blind niches in the interior of the church are floral and geometrical motifs along with crosses engraved into fresh plaster.
The fresco paintings have mostly faded. Today some of the decoration can be seen in the drum with five scenes associated with Christ’s nativity and childhood (Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Adoration of the Magi and Presentation at the Temple). In the squinches, one can see parts of scenes of the Baptism and Betrayal of Christ, and on the Western wall, below the drum, parts of the Crucifixion. All compositions were framed with wide bands, rimmed with red. On elongated figures, red-violet and yellow-golden tones prevail. The background is mostly golden, while grey is seen once it progresses towards the top. Art historians believe that Byzantine masters were hired to decorate the church (they also find similarities with the Church of St. Stephen in Kastoria and the Church of Transfiguration near Koropi, Attica).

The Purgi tower was built at a river port, which was important to the grain trade with Ragusa. The tower was built as a defense of the port by the Albanian nobleman Nikolla Muzaka in 1389- After Nikolla Muzaka Rugina Balsha incorporated the tower into her realm of Vlora and Kanina. In danger of the Ottomans Rugina Balsha wanted to cede her princedom to Venice, unfortunately the negotiations wer prolongated until 1417, when the Ottomans conquered Pirg. The last mentioned possessor of the tower was Ajdin Gropa mentioned in 1421. (AA II 441 (106-107) - de illa turri del birgo; KJ Sp., XI, 14 - et turrim Purgi).

The Church of St. Archangel Michael, also known by the name "Tumba sancti Archangeli", is situated on the small island of Prevlaka in the Bay of Tivat. There are three layers of edifices on this site. The first church was built on the basis of a 6th century basilica (with graves found as well), which became a three nave basilica by the end of the 6th century. A Benedictine monastery dedicated to St. Archangel Michael was probably built in the 9th century. It was a three nave basilica with a semicircular apse in the center and two rectangular little apses on the sides (which are still being debated in art history, since no similar examples have been found), a narthex and a bell tower on the South-East part of the edifice. A large number of fragments of architectural sculpture of the pre-Romanesque style has been preserved, and some of its pillars were moved to the Church of St. Tryphon in Kotor in 1166. In the 12th century this place was ruined and deserted. This abbey, according to the oldest preserved document in Kotor from 1124, was meant to be the Cathedral of Kotor. At the beginning of the 13th century (1220s) the bishopric of Zeta was founded at this very place by Saint Sava (ca. 1175-1236). Therefore, the second church was built on the remains of an abandoned and demolished Benedictine monastery. It had a dome and strong buttresses and a parraklesion was added on the North side. Numerous graves have also been found. The monastery was abandoned at the end of the 14th century and destroyed in the middle of the 15th century, following the killing of 70 monks. In the immediate vicinity of the ruins of this church, i.e. to the East of it, a single nave edifice, which is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was built in 1833 with bells above the Western entrance.

The Church of St. George is situated in Ras, near the city of Novi Pazar and in close proximity to the episcopal cathedra of Raška, suffragan of the Archbishopric of Ohrid. It was built in 1170-1171 by Stefan Nemanja as a combination of Byzantine and Latin spatial composition and construction, and as such belongs to the co-called Raška school of architecture. It was fresco decorated in 1975.
The Church is designed as a single-nave edifice divided into three parts: the three-part altar space, central bay and narthex. Above the central part of the building is a dome, with elliptical base which was rather unusual, and decorated inside with arcades on free-standing colonettes. Entrances with vestibules on the lateral sides of the bay under the dome were created as a new solution. It has bell towers on its Western side.
The Monastery of Đurđevi Stupovi in Novi Pazar was founded by župan Nemanja in the year 1170 (Spis sv Save 60-61; Kralj Stefan 5, Domentijan 16-17). (BĐ ŽSN., 23 - s(ve)ty m(u)č(e)niče H(ri)stovь Geōr'gije).

The Benedictine monastery complex of St. Mary is situated on the Ratac peninsula between Sutomore and Bar. Between the 9th and the 11th century a Benedictine monastery was founded, initially dedicated to Saint Archangel Michael and later to the Holy Mother of God, also known by the name Bogorodica Ratačka (Mother of God from Ratac). The oldest church is from the 11th century and is designated as Church C. The peculiarity of this single-nave building with a dome are the four bays, one of which in the West had probably the function of a narthex. This church is mentioned in the Kotor Charter by the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321) in 1319, confirming the charter by his mother the Serbian Queen Jelena Anžujska (ca. 1230-1314) from 1305 and indicating that the church was dedicated to the Mother of God.
The monastery complex consisted of several buildings. Among them three churches stand out. During the 14th and 15th centuries other buildings and fortifications were added to the monastery, especially when there was a danger from the Ottomans. The monastery and its buildings were looted and demolished by the Ottomans in the 16th century. The Venetians turned it into a military fortress, which was later taken over by the Ottomans. The walls of the monastery were especially devastated in the Second World War (1941-1945), where the occupying forces installed artillery and built bunkers.

The Church of St. George is situated in Ribnica (today's Podgorica, Montenegro) where, according to legend, the Serbian Grand Župan Stefan Nemanja (reigned 1166/68-1196) was baptised. It is a single-nave edifice with an apse, a dome and a bell tower on its Western side. The church was rebuilt and extended several times. Along the Eastern side of the building researchers revealed the remains of an older building. Its walls were used as the foundation walls of the apse, which was extended further to the Northern and Southern side as well as to the interior of the building, indicating the continuity of the sacred place and ancient settlement. Furthermore, the remains of the older building were used as construction material for the new one. There are numerous written accounts on the church. The Church of St. George is similar to the Church of St. Peter in Omiš.

The town of Skadar was founded in the 4th century BCE. Skodra was in hellenistic times part of a Koinon and also the residence of the last Illyrian king. Under Roman rule Skadar became an oppida and an administrative center for the region. In the 3rd or 4th century and also in the 5th century under Justinian the walls of Skadar were rebuilt. During the medieval age the medieval town separated itself somewhat from the ancient town core, which became the town quarter of Ajasma. In 1040 Skadar became part of the Serbian realm. Manuel I Comnenos integrated Skadar in the year 1160 into the Byzantine Empire and made it the capital of the Thema of Dalmatia. 1184 Skadar became again part of the Serbian Kingdom and in 1215 of the Despotate of Epirus. In 1355 Albanian nobles declared their independence, but fell in 1396 under Venetian sovereignty. The Venetians built in 1416 the three walled defensives around the town and renovated the fortifications between 1461 and 1474. In 1479 Skadar was conquered by the Ottoman.

The Monastery of the Most Pure Mother of God of Krajina ("Craini"), with its main church dedicated to the Dormition of the Holy Mother of God, was built near the South-Western shore of Lake Skadar. As most researchers believe, its ktetor was the Serbian Prince Jovan Vladimir (reigned 990-1016), whose remains were transferred here not long after he was murdered in 1016 in Prespa. Next to him his wife Kosara was buried. The church was renewed and enlarged several times, but the original plan is still visible. It is a single nave edifice with semicircular conchae on its Southern, Eastern and Northern sides, making it a trefoil building, similar to the Church of St. John the Baptist in Zaton on the River Lim, built at approximately the same time, and the Church of St. Panteleimon in Ohrid (the burial church of St. Kliment of Ohrid), built during the time of Tsar Samuel's domination in the Balkans. The Church of the Most Pure Mother of God of Krajina was renewed at the end of the 14th century, probably at the time when the Metropolitan see of Zeta was transferred. It is believed that Balša III Djurdjević (reigned 1403-1421), the ruler of Zeta, was responsible for its renovation. Today, only fragments of fresco decoration indicate that the church was once embellished. (FŠ LPD., 331 - in ecclesia sancta Mariae, in loco qui dicitur Craini).

The Sopoćani Monastery is situated near the source of Raška River, in the Ras region, in the vicinity of the city Novi Pazar. The Church was built by King Stefan Uroš I (son of Stefan the First-Crowned) around 1260. (PJŠ Pam., 70 - sьzida že crьkovь Sopokjani). The exonarthex and a bell tower were added later, in the first half of the 14th century (resembling the Žiča Monastery). The Church is a grave site of foyal family members: King's mother Anna Dandolo, Stefan the First Crowned, Grand Duke Djordje and King Uroš I.
Its a single nave edifice with three bays and a dome. It has a three-partite semicircular apse and a narthex. On the sides of the narthex are separate chambers. On the outside, the edifice resembles a three-nave basilica (all side rooms, next to the altar, choirs and chapels are placed under one, single-pitched roof), which is also the element that distinguishes this building from the others of the Raška style group.
Windows and portals were done by masters from the coastal area, in the Romanesque style.
The entire Church is fresco painted around 1270.
After being damaged, the Church was reconstructed in the 15th century (at the time some alterations were made). After the Ottoman rule, in the 20th century, this site was reconstructed and recovered.

It was built in 1313 or 1314 by King Milutin (ZN 46, Danilo 138) as indicated in the inscription on the façade below the roof cornice.
The Church is constructed as a building of a reduced cruciform ground plan with a dome.

The ground plan shows a single-nave edifice and a semicircular apse. It was built with stone and tufa. Some fragments of fresco paintings have survived and are dated in around the 1230s (until the middle of the 13th century the latest). It bears certain similarities with frescoes of the Church of the Virgin Ljeviška in Prizren.

The Church of the Mother of God in the Studenica Monastery is situated 39km South-West of the city of Kraljevo. It was built between 1183 and 1196, by Stefan Nemanja (Spisi sv. Save 153; Kralj Stefan 9; Domentijan 24) (ZSp. 569 V - I u Rasinyi methohь Popovacь, crьkva hramь Vavědenïe prěsvetïe Bogorodica i zaselakï, i selo Vožetinь, selo Rakla i zaseljakь, i selo Pohovacь, i selo Vělika Vruševïca i Podrumi, i povele da prinose vyno trevy rady monastiru). The relics of Stefan Nemanja were brought to Studenica (from Chilandar) making this place the political, cultural and spiritual center of the country. Around his tomb are buried - his wife Ana (nun Anastasija), his son Stefan the First-Crowned, Grand Prince Vukan, Nemanja's grandson Stefan (son of King Uroš I) and King Radoslav with his wife. Therefore Studenica became known as Lavra of St. Simeon the Myrrh-streaming (Myroblytos). For this reason the Church became the model to emulate in the construction and fresco painting of Serbian Churches.
Its a single nave edifice with a dome and a three-part altar space, side vestibules and a narthex. The vestibules had a cult purpose, as evidenced by niches in their Eastern walls.
The façade of the Church of the Mother of God is made in accordance with the traditions of Romanesque art (the masons came from the coastal region, perhaps Kotor). Some typically Byzantine details, such as the semicircular arch on the sides of the tambour of the dome and the disposition of the windows on it, are harmoniously integrated into the Western concept of the exterior of the walls. The most impressive Romanesque features of the monastery catholicon are the friezes of arcades on the upper edges of the walls and the shapes of window openings and portals, i.e. their sculptural decoration. Western and Southern entrance door, along with a trifora at the altar are most prominent example of rich sculptural decoration of this period in history. Also, the lunette above the Western door is richly decorated with sculptural decoration of the Virgin with Christ and two archangels. An inscription on the tympanum of the West portal is written in Serbian lettering which indicates that artist(s) were probably Serbian.
According to the fragmentarily preserved inscription in the tambour of the dome, it is known that the painting of the Church began in 1208/1209. Fresco decoration was thoroughly renovated in 1569 by Longin.
Around 1230 Radoslav, son of Stefan the First-Crowned, built an exonarthex with two semicircular chapels on the South and North sides and perhaps a square tower with a chapel on the upper floor of the main entrance of the Monastery.

The medieval Ulcinj was the relocated successor to the roman Ulcinium, although it is not known when or why the town was relocated further south. Despite the relocation of the town, the old akropolis was still inhabited and part of the towns defensive structures. Other parts of the Walls were the "torre delle Madona" and the bastion S. Domenico. The Venetians renovated the town in 1429 and after an earthquake in 1444. The Walls war still called ancient in 1553 (FŠ LPD., 306; Vm Lj., 54; VĐ ŽSN., 31 - Ecaterum, Dulcignum; grad(ь) Lьcinь).

Valona was the southern border of the Byzantine Thema of Durres. In Summer 1081 the Normans invaded the region and conquered Valona together with Kanina and Orikos. After 1204 Vlora became Byzantine again. It shortly was part of the Realm of Manfred of Hohenstaufen as part of his spouse's, Helena, daughter of the Epirote despote Mihail II, dowry. In the year 1272 Vlora was ruled by Charles of Anjou who became King of Albania. 1340 Stefan Uroš IV Dušan conquered and ruled the region. Aftewards Balsha II became the ruler before the Venetians. In 1417 Valon was conquered by the Ottomans as their first harbour in the Adriatic sea. After the natural harbour was hardly usable the town center relocated during Ottoman rule to the current place (AA I, 23, 255 (4, 73); LjS PP I, 62 (57) - Nazarius episcopus Aulonae; ōd trga Vavlokьskga; castellanum castri Aveloni).

The Church of St. John the Baptist in Zaton on the River Lim near Bijelo Polje is a trefoil church built in the 9th or the 10th century, was destroyed in the 14th century and again in the 20th century. Finally, it was rebuilt in the 21st century. The similarity with the Church of St. Panteleimon in Ohrid indicates that it was probably erected during the reign of Tsar Samuel. The ground plan indicates a single nave church with square base and three conchae on its Eastern, Northern and Southern sides. Fragments of fresco decoration and a stone slab floor were found. Researchers believe that the church was fresco decorated in the time of the Serbian Prince Miroslav (reigned 1162-1190).
