The Church of St. Jovan Vladimir, consecrated in 2016, one of the largest churches in Montenegro. Although the construction of this church was discussed as early as 1979, construction work on the church did not begin until 2006. The temple is painted using the traditional fresco technique.
Bar Cathedral is one of the two Catholic cathedrals in Montenegro, along with the one in Kotor. The building, built in neo-gothic style, was consecrated in 1828, but the archdiocese of Bar dates back to the 10th century.
The Selimiye Mosque in Bar, the largest building of its kind in Montenegro, was built between 2002 and 2014. The completion of the mosque building, the space of the cultural centre, its furnishing and equipment, during the period 2013 and 2014, were entirely financed by the funds provided by the Turkish government's development agency.
The Lami Mosque, also known as the New Mahalla Mosque, was built in 1689 by Haxhi Alija. In the catastrophic earthquake of 1979, the mosque was completely destroyed and did not function for several years. However, thanks to the activity of the Islamic community and the citizens of the city of Ulcinj, the mosque could be rebuilt on the same foundations with a magnificent minaret.
