Praskvica Monastery, nestled in a lush valley just inland from Petrovac, is a significant Serbian Orthodox site dating back to the 11th century. The complex features two churches: the older Church of the Holy Trinity and the larger Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, both adorned with frescoes. The monastery's treasury houses valuable icons, manuscripts, and liturgical objects. Surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, the peaceful setting invites contemplation and offers a glimpse into Montenegro's religious heritage.
