Cetinje Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Cetinje, Montenegro
The monastery stands on a stone foundation with white walls and a red-tiled roof in the center of Cetinje at 670 meters altitude.
Metropolitan Danilo I established the current monastery in 1701 on the remains of an older structure destroyed by Venetian forces in 1692.
The monastery collection includes religious manuscripts, ecclesiastical vestments from the Petrovic-Njegos dynasty, and three major Christian relics including Saint John's hand.
The monastery opens daily for visitors, with separate schedules for religious services and museum tours displaying Orthodox Christian artifacts.
The monastery houses the relics of Saint Peter of Cetinje, who wrote Montenegro's first legal code in 1796 while serving as metropolitan.
