Ostrog monastery

Ostrog Monastery is built into a vertical cliff face 900 metres above the Zeta Valley. It was one of my highlights of visiting Montenegro.

Montenegro may be small, but with beautiful mountains, historic old towns, and turquoise beaches, there's plenty of things to do in Montenegro.

Ostrog Monastery, Montenegro.

The monastery was carved into the face of the mountain by a single man (and later with the help of his students) in the 17th century!

The Monastery was founded by Vasilije, the Metropolitan Bishop of Herzegovina in the 17th century. He died there in 1671 and some years later he was glorified. His body is enshrined in a reliquary kept in the cave-church dedicated to the Presentation of the Mother of God to the Temple. Ostrog monastery is the most popular pilgrimage place in Montenegro.
