Summary/Abstract: In the territory of Montenegro, the cult of the Holy Trinity existed at various locations, with a unique aspect being the construction of sacred buildings on mountaintops, as part of a broader phenomenon of erecting temples in the mountains. Some structures dedicated to the Holy Trinity can also be found in lowland areas. It was a custom to visit these places and celebrate the holiday on Trinity Day. The earliest mentions of this cult date back to the Middle Ages.
