Montenegro for Russian tourists in every sense is one of the most interesting and attractive place to visit in European countries. Including because the main religion in the state is Christianity. And the main Shrine of Orthodoxy is undoubtedly the monastery of Ostrog, which without exaggeration is known around the world. The reason – is extraordinarily picturesque, seemingly invented by the talented designer. Had an unlimited budget and the skills I disposed of it, investing in it is a miracle all its soul.

 

The monastery is functioning, now it is a home to 12 monks. And it isn't so old, after all, Ostrog was founded "only" in the XVII century. Its location in the mountains (base elevation is 900 meters above sea level) is the main reason that the complex of monastic buildings of very distinct looks, literally growing out of the body of a cliff (this concerns the upper part of the monastery) Ostroska Greda. But to get here is a separate test, because the thin strand serpentine provisional admiring the fortress a huge portion of adrenaline: very scared to go! But the experience is worth it because the visit to the monastery will become one of the most vivid impressions of life, even the tourists with a great experience travel at iconic locations around the world.

The main local shrine – the relics of the servant of Stanko and of Bishop Basil, who ruled the abode of the last decade and a half of his life. Life was hard because father Vasily was embodied in his person the image of confrontation between the Ottoman pressure and tyranny, defending the Orthodox faith. As for the lad, Stanko, he is glorified by the power of faith is not released from the hands the symbol of Orthodoxy of the Holy cross, although the Ottomans threatened to cut off his hands. And he did it.

All the legends of the Ostrog monastery say that it is famous not only beauty, but also with healing people. Many of them felt better after visiting it. But it is better to listen to these stories on the spot, the effect is quite different. Perfect even for an atheist to visit Montenegro and not to go to Jail is like visiting Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame Cathedral. Very beautiful, very emotional, very exciting and very memorable.

Once again, we have to stress that to buy an apartment in Montenegro (by the sea or not necessarily on the coast) have an extremely reasonable investment. You will become the owner of the property in a quiet and calm country with nice and helpful people, beautiful and varied scenery and plenty of historical and cultural monuments. Ostrog monastery – one of the most important among them.
