But it doesn’t end there. During the months of June and September, the fortress becomes centre stage as musicians and actors perform before the audience, making a visit to this attraction a must all year round.
Ostrog Monastery
Ostrog Monastery is situated just outside of Nikšic. Carved into a vertical cliff face, this holy place is truly a feat of engineering. With its beautifully whitewashed walls and unbelievable architecture, this Monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church showcases the perfect blend of natural and man-made structures.
The Monastery is actually comprised of two levels; the lower church dating from the 18th century which contains most of the monastic residences, and in the upper level, where two cave-churches can be found.
