Manastir Banja, Orthodox monastery near Perast, Montenegro
The monastery complex stands on a hillside among cypress trees, providing views across the Bay of Kotor and surrounding mountain ranges.
The monastery underwent architectural changes during the 18th century, though local accounts suggest its origins trace back to Stefan Nemanja in the 12th century.
The monastery maintains traditional gardens and incorporates architectural elements characteristic of religious structures in the Montenegrin coastal region.
Located on the outskirts of Risan, the monastery welcomes visitors without entrance fees and offers paths for exploring the surrounding natural landscape.
The monastery grounds contain multiple terraced levels that integrate with the natural slope, creating distinct spaces for religious and agricultural activities.
