Temporary "palaces" of Balša III Balšić in Godinje and Berislavić, during the war with Venice
The village is the ancestral home of the Lekovići and Nikač brotherhoods. In 1977, residents of Godinje would say in a joking manner that: "In Godinje, everyone's surname is Leković".[1] A reminder of a time when family clans lived in mountainous isolation in Montenegro.
