Hi,

this is Cipur Church ("Crkva na Cipuru").

It is the burial place of king Nikola I, queen Milena, and princesses Ksenija and Vjera. They were buried here in 1989 after their remains were brought from San Remo. It is located near the palace of King Nikola I.

Originally, Ivan Crnojevic the ruler of medieval Montenegro (Zeta) built the church in 1484. It was destroyed during the Ottoman campaign in 1692. King Nikola built court chapel in 1886 dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin.
