Some of the more notable buildings and monuments in Montenegro include:

Morača Monastery (Church of Sv. Bogorodica)

About 5km south of the turn-off to Šavnik, on the main road (E-80) between Kolašin and Podgorica. Founded 1251 by Stephen (‘The First Crowned’). The earliest frescoes date from around 1260, and are a fine example of the so-called ‘Raška’ school of the 13th century; they include the Annunciation and scenes from the life of St Elijah (Sv. Ilija). Other frescoes are mostly from the 16th–17th centuries. Among the many fine icons is one of Saints Symeon and Sava, with scenes from the life of Sv. Sava.

Ostrog Monastery

On a small side-road about 37 km north of Podgorica, off the main road (E-762) to Nikšić. Built during the 17th century, nestled in a spectacular position at the base of a cliff. A taxi from the turn-off to the monastery, plus waiting time and drive on to Nikšić, should cost €20–25. Alternatively, day trips operate from many towns on the coast.

Piva Monastery (Church of Sv. Bogorodica)
