Faith and monastery solid as rocks
High up in the rocky mountain belt, often hidden by clouds and fog, lies the Ostrog monastery - the largest Montenegrin shrine, built in the seventeenth century. This is the place where the relics of St Basil of Ostrog, the great wonderworker, are kept. After Christ's tomb and the Holy mountain, the Ostrog monastery is the third most visited shrine in the Christian world. It was built in height next to the rock, almost embedded in it, and looking at it fills every visitor with a certain respect for the artist who built this imposing structure and a strong faith that led him on the task. Therefore it is not surprising that the Ostrog monastery is the most visited shrine in Montenegro.
