South of the small settlement Bogišici in the municipality of Tivat, Montenegro there is a small, but beautiful cemetery on a hill. The cemetery has two chapels and about 100 graves. There is one chapel with a higher bell tower, a beautifully carved door and a little mosaic above the door and another chapel with three bells in a triangle (most likely to represent the Holy Trinity). Also one can find three bells displayed near the one entrance. We couldn't find anything about their history, but maybe they have been bells in the bell tower earlier. The whole cemetery is very clean and many graves are decorated with flowers.

And you might also want to visit the grave of James I. Mestrovitch, who received the Medal Of Honour of the US Army.
