The remains of the town of Doclea/Duklja are the most important remains of an urban centre dating back to the Roman period in Montenegro. The town was planned according to the Roman urban typology of the 1st century BC, and was an important administrative and cultural centre. The archaeological site of Doclea/Duklja comprises Roman monuments and two necropolises, two early Christian three-nave churches from the 5th and 6th century AD, and a smaller cross-formed church from the 9th century.
