Orthodoxy - the main religion in Montenegro, and one of the most important Orthodox churches - Ostrog monastery, founded in the 17th century. A monastery in the mountains at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. The nearest town is separated Danilovgrad some 15 km away, but part of the road runs along the mountain serpentine, where the road is so winding and narrow that only a miracle on it are leaving cars. The monastery consists of two parts - upper and lower. Each store their relics. For the lower part, consisting of the cells and the Church of the Holy Trinity, that the boy might Stanko, who did not let go of the Holy Cross, even the threat of cutting off their blood-thirsty Turks. In the upper part of the monastery is the stony road through the forest, and it makes sense to go slowly - it is surprisingly picturesque. The upper part of the monastery, which was supposed to grow out of a steep rock slope, consists of Holy Cross and Vvedensky church of the Virgin Mary. Those buildings that can be seen today - this is what had to rebuild almost from scratch after the fire of 1923. Fame and glory to the monastery acquired XVII century: its 15 years of life in it had Bishop Basil. During the Ottoman persecution it was the stronghold of Orthodoxy, strengthening the people in the Christian faith. They say that the power of his prayers was that gave the healing of the most dreaded diseases. His relics are now kept in jail as miraculous relic. According to tradition, a lot of amazing happened in the Montenegrin monastery of Ostrog, and this willingly tell local monks. But not only the miracles of healing should go here ... worth the climb up the narrow stairs to a small viewing platform to stand still to see the stunning and magnificent panorama opening look. And this beauty is probably also one of the wonders of the local.
