Bijela has been know under this name since 14 century. The palce is full of important churches, one being Riza Bogorodice( The Garment of Our Lady). It was built in 1824 on the ruins of much older building, with its apse leaning on the apse of the new church. According to the analogy of the chapel in the Our Lady church in Studenica, the apse could be as old as 12-13 century. Analysis of the found frescos confirms this. In the lower section one can see the Bowing to the Victim, while in the upper is Our Lady, with outstretched arms and archangels on each side.  These subjects are characteristics of 12 century art. The cathedral church was donated by Bishop Danilo, as evidenced by his portrait at the bottom of the aspe. In the church treasury is a collection of old printed books: Crnojevic Hymn Book printed by Makarije in 1494, Hymn Book by Bozidar Vukovic Podgoricanin printed in Venice in 1537, Psalter manuscript in wood bind covers, Liturgical Book, 16th century, leather bind and a Prayer Book from 1580.
St. Petar is a catholic church from 18 century. Parts of a much older building have been incorporated in the front wall of this church. Frangments of decorative plastic with text have been found, proving that there was a short dominance of the Franaks in this area in year 805.
The first Benedicts priory was built round that time , but was demolished by the Mongolians in 1242. It is thought that St. Petar church was built on the ruins of the priory. Another church here is St. Vraci.

His father was a christian, from the Sisic family, although other say he was from Svilanovic family and that as a child served in the Catholic monastery in Kotor, where he was received in the Catholic faith. He was taken to Italy by an Italian monk and lived near Ancona. He married and had a son, who later became Pope Siksto Pereti. Why Siksto- because he originated from Sisic.
