Savina monastery, Orthodox monastery in Herceg Novi, Montenegro
The monastery complex contains three churches, including the Great Temple of the Assumption and a smaller church, situated on a hill near the Bay of Kotor.
The smaller Church of the Assumption, with foundations from 1030, underwent reconstruction in the late 17th century when monks from Tvrdoš Monastery sought refuge here.
The monastery preserves numerous religious artifacts from the Nemanjić dynasty, including relics of Empress Jelena and the cross of Saint Sava.
Visitors can access both temple areas during designated hours and explore the surrounding Mediterranean gardens while maintaining respect for the monastic community.
The Great Temple's iconostasis, created by Simeon Lazović, represents a distinguished example of Serbian Baroque art from the late 18th century.
