Manastir Ostrog - April 2006.g.  Visoko u stjenovitom planinskom masivu, cesto zaklonjen oblacima i maglom, nalazi se Manastir Ostrog najvece crnogorsko svetiliste, podignuto u sedamnaestom vijeku. To je mjesto u kome pocivaju mosti Svetog Vasilija Ostroskog koji nas svojim budnim svevidecim ocima posmatra citavog zivota cekajuci da se jednog dana vratimo sustini svog bica. Jedan njemacki princ zapisuje1908. godine da "Ostrog nije svetinja pravoslavnih, nego je to odziv svih vjera koje su na svijetu".  High up in a rocky mountain range, often hidden by clouds and mist, is the Monastery of Ostrog,  the greatest Montenegrin shrine. It was built in seventeenth century. This is the place where the relics of Saint Vasilije Ostroski are resting. Saint Vasilije Ostroski watches us during our whole life and waits for us to return one day to our essence. One German prince had written in 1908 “Ostrog is not only the holy place of the Orthodox, but response of all the world religions”.   Bjelopavlicka ravnica - planina Garac pokrivena snijegom, put Podgorica - Niksic (pogled sa balkona Gornjeg Manastira Ostrog) - April 2006.

Zbog toga su Turci uporno nastojali da ga osvoje i poruše, narocito krajem 1852. i pocetkom 1853.godine, za vrijeme prvog napada Omer-paše Latasa na Crnu Goru.Dva puta su ostaci sv.Vasilija morali biti prenošeni na Cetinje, zbog bojazni da Turcima ne padne u ruke, u ratovima od 1853. i 1876-1878.godine.  Ostrog is famous from the time it was built not only as a holy place but as a center for the movements and actions against the Turks.  That was the reason why the Turks were so persistent to occupy and destroy it, especially by the end of 1852 and the beginning of 1853, during the first attack of Omer-pasha Latas on Montenegro.  The relics of St Vasilije had to be transferred two times, from the fear that the Turks might destroy them, in 1853 and 1876-1878.    Rijeka Zeta i pogled na podrucje izletišta Glava Zete - April 2006.   The river Zeta and the recreation complex of Glava Zeta - April 2006.  Manastir ima dvije crkve.
