Travel Guide Ostrog Monastery (Манастир Острог)

A high place of pilgrimage for Christians, it is so famous that believers of all religious denominations go there. Located 36 km from Nikšić, the appearance of the white monastery in the middle of a cliff is spectacular. The roads are narrow, full of curves; but a first parking lot allows you to park your vehicle. It is preferable to continue on foot (30 minutes) because the climb allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of recollection. Miracles and healing powers are attributed to Saint Vasilije Ostroški (Saint Basil of Ostrog). The saint built it in the 17th century and the relics of his bones can be seen. A unique experience, rich in emotions. You will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the place and by the fervour of the pilgrims, sometimes very young, of all conditions and religious origins. Even if you are not a believer, let yourself be guided by the benevolent monks who will show you the way to the troglodytic cave where, after kissing the monk's hand, you will be overwhelmed with emotion at the vision of Saint Basil of Ostrog lying at the bottom of the cave.
