No photo can do justice to the wonder that is Ostrog Monastery. Set in a seemingly
sheer mountain wall, it's impossible to frame a photo to reveal its great height without re-
ducing the luminous white monastery to little more than a speck. Orthodox Christians con-
sider this Monte-negro's holiest site and, whether you're a believer or not, it's an affecting
place. The complex includes several stone churches, but none are more atmospheric than
the cave chapels of the Upper Monastery, their rock walls covered in centuries-old fres-
coes.
