Ostrog
Sight / monastery
Believers from a wide variety of religious affiliations often make pilgrimages to the Ostrog rock monastery. It is the most important pilgrimage site of the Serbian Orthodox faith. The monastery complex extends over 200 meters above sea level. The lower part, Donji Ostrog, is the supply center for the pilgrimage site Gornji Ostrog. St. Vasilije founded the monastery. At the hour of his death in 1672, several miracles occurred and this led to the canonization of St. Vasilije. The saint´s relics are in the small lower church. For a donation, the shrine can be kissed and monks bless the pilgrims. The paintings on the rock walls of the upper church -Crkva CV. Krstu- date back to 1666/67
