Stanjevići Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pobori, Montenegro.

The monastery complex stands on the southern slopes of Mount Lovćen, featuring a church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and traditional stone architecture.

Following Cetinje's raid in 1714, Bishop Danilo relocated to Stanjevići, establishing it as the second residence of Montenegrin bishops for 125 years.

The monastery's dining room displays a portrait gallery of the Petrović dynasty, while the church contains icons painted by hieromonk Maximus Tujković in 1738.

Visitors from Budva can reach the monastery by following the Cetinje road and turning left at Lapćići village toward Donji Pobori, covering 17.5 kilometers.

The church features wood carvings depicting both religious figures and contemporary personalities, including representations of Desanka Maksimović and Dražo Mihailović.
