The town Petrovac...

Petrovac was first mentioned in the chronicles of father dukljanin. Once called Lastva, it was founded as a settlement in the late 18th and early 19th centuries of interest are two small churches, built in the 14th and 15th century, after wich the settlement takes its name, Kastel Lastva.

Surroundings of Petrovac...

Offshore from Petrovac are two islets: Katic and Sveta nedjelja with a small church which, as legend has it, was built by a seafarer who was saved from a shipwreck on this island that art is long lasting and life is brief can be seen in the priceless cultural heritage found in Petrovac and its surroundings. Beaty and its time lessness are reflected in secular and religious buildings dating from late antiquity and early christianity where floor mossaics represent the earliest signs of art in this region. At Miriste beneath Petrovac in 1902 a mosaic was discovered from the 3rd or 4th century.



From the very begining of 17th century one should mention, now in a poor state of preservation the frescoes in the church of the holy cross in Novoselo above Petrovac, and also the frescoes in the church of St.Thomas in nearby Zukovica.
