Dobrilovina Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery near Tara River Canyon, Montenegro.

The monastery complex features a single-naved church with rectangular apse and low choir chapels, following traditional Raška architectural principles.

Established in 1609 with frescoes completed by 1613, the monastery underwent multiple cycles of destruction and restoration during Ottoman conflicts.

The monastery housed a school under archimandrite Mihailo Dožić-Medenica, which became a center for regional education and national consciousness.

Visitors can reach the monastery by following the road along the Tara River from Mojkovac, with accommodations available in nearby towns.

The monastery sits at the beginning of Europe's deepest river canyon, next to the ancient Crna Poda forest in northern Montenegro.
