Kosmač is a former fortress in Montenegro, located on the hill of the same name above the village of Brajići, not far from Budva. It is located at an altitude of about 800 m. It was built by the Austrians between 1841 and 1850. The fort served as a border fortification on the Austrian-Montenegrin border.

Monastery Praskvica (1050) is considered representative of the Orthodox architecture of the Balkan Peninsula and is the most famous monastic complex in the Pastrovići area of Budva municipality. The monastery is located in a picturesque olive grove on a mountain in the former fishing village of Čelbrdo, on the outskirts of Miločer, near Pržno and on the popular island of Sveti Stefan.
