5Ostrog Monastery

This 17th-century monastery is located in Montenegro, southeastern Europe. Part of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Ostrog monastery is nestled in a vertically positioned mountain cliff. This revered holy site is often visited by Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Muslims.

The monastery comprises two parts, upper and lower, as well as a cave-like chapel adorned with faded frescoes harking back to 1667. Pilgrims believe in going barefoot for the last three kilometers with the hope that the relics of Saint Basil can help them.
