This mosque was originally built in the 14th century, prior to Ottoman occupation, in order for Muslim sea traders to have a place to pray. In the 18th century, to give thanks to god for his survival of the battle of Krusi and to thank the sailors for their work for his family, Ibrahim Pasha of Scutari had the mosque rebuilt and renamed the "Sailor's Mosque". The current mosque was reconstructed in 2012 by private investors after the original mosque was destroyed in 1931 when Montenegro became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a Christian church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia and is regarded as a symbol of the country. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat. It was built from 1555 to 1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. The original building, known as Trinity Church and later Trinity Cathedral, contained eight churches arranged around a ninth, central church of Intercession; a tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). The building is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture.

This shrine dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena, "Doctor of the Church", was inaugurated in 1985 and continues to enjoy a particular popular devotion. The initiative for this chapel was taken by Jean Wintgens, who was fascinated by the saint's personality. The building deviates from the traditional design of a closed building but is open to the outside, inspired by the campo of Siena. It is a polygonal building with a crypt, an inward sloping roof with an open atrium in the middle and a small fountain dedicated to the saint in the centre. A relic of the saint was donated by the archbishop of Siena.
