evidence: The Imperial Lavra of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, in Prevlaka, was for centuries the seat of the Montenegro Metropolitanate. Although destroyed in the 15th century and partly rebuilt in the 19th century, it has to the present day, not lost its significance for spirituality and culture for the Orthodox residents of the Bay of Kotor and Montenegro. Prevlaka is also the place where the famous Ilovička krmčija was created – a copy of St. Sava’s rule of law in 1262. Prevlaka has been known as a major center since the Roman and Byzantine times; before the establishment of the St. Sava’s Zeta bishopric and the construction of the temple by Stefan Prvovjenčani, it was a significant Benedictine spiritual center, which St. Sava and Zeta’s bishops renewed and gave a universal meaning to. The Kings and emperors came to this place, starting from St. Jovan Vladimir, and the Vojisavljević, Nemanjić, Balšić, Crnojević rulers and metropolitan masters of Montenegro, Petrović. On Prevlaka and the neighboring island of St. Mark, there were numerous temples and other buildings such as metropolitan buildings, some of which are visible to this day, as well as numerous ancient wells, salt pans in a nearby field and other archaeological sites. This place is a kind of symbiosis of East and West, one of the most important, not only on the coast but in the whole of Montenegro.
