The Serbian Orthodox Church Monastery of Ostrog is placed against an almost vertical background, high up in the large rock of Ostroška Greda, in Montenegro. The monastery, dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, was founded by Vasilije, the Metropolitan Bishop of Herzegovina in the 17th century. He died there in 1671 and some years later he was glorified. The present-day look was given to the Monastery in 1923-1926, after a fire which had destroyed the major part of the complex. Fortunately, the two little cave-churches were spared and they are the key areas of the monument.
