1. Savina Monastery: A Historical Gem Nestled Between City and Lake, Montenegro The Savina Monastery, located in the picturesque Bay of Kotorska in Montenegro, is a captivating blend of history, natural beauty, and spiritual serenity. Nestled between the tranquil waters of Lake Skadar and the ancient city walls of Herceg Novi, this architectural marvel was built by Duke Stephen Vukčić Kosača of Herzegovina in honor of Saint Sava, the patron saint of Serbia. Duke Stephen, a prominent figure in the Middle Ages, ruled over the region of Herzegovina and was known for his devotion to the Serbian Orthodox faith. In the late 15th century, he commissioned the construction of the Savina Monastery, which was completed in 1499. The monastery's name derives from the Savina River, which flows nearby and provides a constant source of water. The Savina Monastery is a testament to the rich history of Montenegro and the Boka Kotorska region. Its intricate stonework, featuring traditional Balkan architectural styles, stands in stark contrast to the vibrant greenery and crystal-clear waters of Lake Skadar. The monastery's interior is adorned with exquisite frescoes and icons, which have been meticulously preserved over the centuries. Visitors to the Savina Monastery are transported back in time as they explore its hallowed halls and wander through its peaceful gardens. The monastery's serene atmosphere invites reflection and contemplation, making it a popular destination for both local pilgrims and international tourists. As you gaze upon this breathtaking scene, take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of the Savina Monastery. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that Montenegro has to offer.
