Tvrdoš monastery
In conflict with the Turks Venetians destroyed Tvrdoš on 1694. In the first years of XVIII century there were several attempts to restore the destroyed monastery.
By the remains of the old monastery it can be seen that the Tvrdoš was ready for the defense from the attackers. That is why it was built a solid wall around the monastery. In the interior the ruins of the foundations of the old be seen. It was a basilica with three ships. Two side ships are somewhat shorter than the middle one, which was extended by narthex on the west side. The present church was built on 1924.
In Tvrdoš, St. Vasilije of Ostrog, a miracle-worker and a saint of the Serbian Orthodox Church, was ordained.
