Manastir Ćelija Piperska, Orthodox monastery in Gornji Crnci, Montenegro.
The monastery stands on a mountain plateau near Podgorica, consisting of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary Church and surrounding stone buildings.
Saint Stefan Piperski founded the monastery in 1667, constructing a small church with the permission of the Montenegrin Piper tribe.
The monastery maintains an icon painting school since 1988, where traditional Orthodox iconography techniques continue through generations of artists.
The religious complex lies 17 kilometers from Podgorica, requiring transportation arrangements as it sits in a remote mountainous location.
A natural spring on the monastery grounds produces water that local residents and visitors seek for its reputed medicinal properties.
