Gradište Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Buljarica, Montenegro.

The monastic complex contains three churches and a dormitory, positioned on a Mediterranean plateau enclosed by defensive walls with gun holes.

Established in 1116, the monastery received recognition in 1307 through King Milutin's charter, noting Queen Jelena's gift to the Monastery of Holy Virgin of Ratac.

The Church of Saint Nicholas exhibits frescoes portraying Old and New Testament scenes alongside portraits of the Nemanjic Dynasty members.

Located 7 kilometers east of Petrovac, the monastery stands on a hill overlooking the highway that leads toward the town of Bar.

The monastery houses a rare icon of Saint Christopher with an animal head, created during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
