Saint Basil of Ostrog Orthodox cathedral in Nikšić

The cathedral features multiple domes and follows Byzantine Revival architecture with traditional crosses and decorative elements throughout its exterior stone walls.

Russian architect Mikhail Preobrazhensky designed this religious structure between 1895 and 1900, with funding from the Russian Orthodox Church and Emperor Nikolai.

The interior displays an iconostasis with realistic paintings of regional saints, including Peter of Cetinje and Basil of Ostrog near the sanctuary doors.

Located at Trg Šaka Petrovića, the cathedral maintains regular services and welcomes visitors who wish to observe its architectural and religious elements.

Engineer Josip Slade selected the hilltop location, which positions the cathedral as a central landmark visible throughout Nikšić.
