Perched dramatically on a cliff face in the heart of Montenegro, Ostrog Orthodox Monastery is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Balkans. This remarkable structure, founded in the 17th century by Saint Basil of Ostrog, is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of faith that attracts thousands of visitors each year. The monastery is divided into two parts: the upper and lower monasteries, both of which provide serene spaces for reflection and prayer, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Visitors can explore the various chapels and galleries, admire the intricate frescoes that adorn the walls, and even partake in religious ceremonies if they wish. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual, making it an ideal spot for contemplation and connection with nature. Additionally, the site is accessible to all, with well-maintained paths leading to the monastery's entrance. Remember to dress modestly while visiting, as it is a sacred place for many.
