Danilovgrad


Danilovgrad is a region and a municipality of Montenegro. The region is located in the center of the country, just between the two biggest cities: Niksic and the capital Podgorica....

The town of Danilovgrad is located in the fertile valley of the Zeta River, sometimes called also the Bjelopavlići plain, after the name of the local clan. The most known monument in the region is the Ostrog Monastery. It’s a miracle built by nature and human interactions, carved in a vertical mountain cliff. It is today the pearl of Montenegrin spiritualism that is annually visited by more than hundred thousand pilgrims from around the world. It is one of three most visited Christian destinations on the planet, with its cave-like chapel and monastery complex that preserves the sanctity of Saint Basil, the Orthodox Christian Saint of Miracles.
