Rustovo Monastery, Budva, Montenegro

Rustovo Monastery is located around three kilometres above the Praskvica Monastery. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God and it has been convent since 2004. The graves of monks were discovered in the monastery yard, which proves that a number of monks lived here as early as in the Middle Ages. Within the Monastery complex, there is a little chapel dedicated to St Benedict of Nursia, as well as a more recent church dedicated to the Holy Royal Martyrs, the Romanovs.

We visited the monastery, a place where you will feel at peace since the arrival. The view from the top over the coast is stunning. We received a friendly welcome.from the nun and gave us a tour of the monastery, telling us the history of the churches, and the miraculous icones in it. Nice clay articles and homemade cosmetic products available to support the community at very reasonable price. We enjoyed a rest in the garden and the nuns offered us refreshments and nice sweets with cherries ("cookies"). We highly recommend to visit!

We went there on a weekday. The road was steep and narrow but worth it. Nuns welcomed us and showed us around. We heard the history of the place and were allowed to take a few pictures. You can also pray to Holly Portrait for health and/or for fertility. No tickets. There is a shop there where you can buy handmade souvenirs made by nuns and herbal products. Prices were reasonable. Nun gave us vater from their spring to drink and a cookie.

The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
