This Orthodox monastery is dedicated to the Ascension of the Virgin, and it was erected in 1897. The Monastery was built within a natural cave, which was later expanded thus creating the form of a church with auxiliary chapels. The interior of the Monastery is adorned with frescos painted by monk Simeon Popovic.

This monastery is located near Podgorica airport . Taxi to the monnastery for only 10 euros. My recommendation is to visit this site with a transfer services Go Montenegro.

Unless you are an experienced long distance swimmer in a wet suit, do what everyone else does-- take a water taxi. Built on a man-made island, this charming little active Catholic Chapel houses some interesting and probably unique votives. Ranging from wedding bouquets to an intricate tapestry made over 25 years with the weavers hair woven into the design. The resulting eyestrain cost the weaver her sight but her precision handiwork remains for all to see

This church is on the tourist map of the old town as St Mary Koledata, so do not miss out. Saint’s remains in a glass coffin on the altar to the left when you enter. Worth a visit
7. Ostrog Monastery

In terms of presentation, architecture and culture, the Ostrog Monastery is a must-visit. Access is limited by a narrow, winding and sometimes scary road with an increasing number of hairpin turns as you near. You may have to park a distance and walk the rest. Access to the monstery itself can be limited in the busy season. In October, during the pandemic, no one was there. The entire visit, at a casual pace, can take <30 minutes. Photography is not permitted. The architecture, tiling and painting are unique and beautiful. The "monastery agains the mountain" can look for magical. It reminded me of the Taktsang Monastery in Bhutan and Hozoviotissa on the Greek Isle of Amorgos. You should check it out

This is an astonishing building, given that it was built as recently as the 1990s. From a distance it could easily be hundreds of years old. As you enter be prepared to have your breath taken away. It has an interior unlike anything I have seen before - quite beautiful. If visiting the city, don't pass up the chance to see this landmark.
9. St. George's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
This is an Orthodox church in the foothill of the Gorica hill, built between the 9th and 11th centuries, and it is part of a group of pre-Romanesque monuments. This is also the oldest preserved building in Podgorica. Beneath the altar there is a small subterranean passage, which was believed to have led to Duklja.
