Let the memories never fade, one of the most visited and most important places in the Balkans is considered to be the Ostrog Monastery. It was an unforgettable visit that I remember fondly, because this Monastery is something special in its construction, and people like to visit it in order to find their peace in an authentically beautiful monastery.
The monastery is located in Montenegro, and its interesting building is located in the rock at about 900 meters above sea level and the rock is called the Ostrog beam, which is probably why its name Ostrog Monastery.
The monastery was built in the 17th century, it was founded by Metropolitan Vasilije. One of the most interesting phenomena in this place is that the vine grows from the rock.
FRONT DOOR:
The entrance door is built in a semicircle, and consists of a main large gate and two smaller ones on either side. They are made of bricks and there is a cross on each gate, which can be seen in the photo.
The monastery is a very visited place, during the summer it is visited by people from all over the world, because of its uniqueness, which was built on a wonderful location in a vertical position that is high in the rock. It is interesting that in the 17th century there were no construction methods for construction as there are today in the modern world.
Vasilije Ostroški moved to the place of today's monastery, which used to be a cave, he built this monastery far away and in an inaccessible place in order to protect the people from the Turks.
People of all faiths and nations come to this holy place, because the Odstrog monastery is considered a holy place, it works to treat sick people, people who are not able to come alone due to illness, someone close to them comes, with the clothes of a sick person who will spend the night in the monastery.
When entering the monastery, the wardrobe you wear must be decent, meaning pants and something with long sleeves or for women long skirts and scarves that will cover the shoulders, and on the head for women it would be suitable to be with a scarf.
In the monastery complex, a church dedicated to the holy martyr Stanko was built on the plateau above the lower monastery.
The roads are quite winding, but they are nicely arranged asphalted, you even go through some tunnels, you go through various places to the place of the monastery, on the roads we can meet people who sell wine, brandy, honey or some similar things. Montenegro is rocky and has a little plain and its sea, so we can experience a little of everything.
The picturesque natural landscape shaped by the image and sound of the waterfall makes it seem that sometimes tame landscapes merge with the wild power of stone and water. Incredible peace and murmur lead all the way to the Ostrog monastery, which Montenegro has been building for centuries.
Enchanted by the view of these beautiful landscapes, nature and colors made our view perfect, but we had to be careful when driving because the steep precipices are part of this road. It is best to stop and take photos.
Every experience we experience is beautiful in its own way, but these mountains and the view of the beautiful natural landscapes that surround Montenegro were unique.
