Things to see and do Berane (Беране)

Located on the heights of the city, the monastery of Djurdjevi Stupovi ("the pillars of Saint George") was erected at the end of the 12th century. It consists of a konak (living quarters) and an imposing stone church. In 1219 it became the seat of the Budimljan (medieval name of Berane) episcopate. The church, whose lead roof was melted down during the Ottoman occupation, was later requisitioned by the Austro-Hungarian army to house its horses.

Just a stone's throw from the main square in the town centre and on the first floor of what looks like a large house, this museum displays a diverse collection of objects found during excavations in the area. Traditional costumes, old weapons and rural utensils from the 19th century. The museum also has a beautiful mesh vest from the 14th century that was recently discovered in the Lim River. A beautiful testimony to the historical wealth of Berane.
