Nikšić Cathedral dates from the end of the 19th century. When the Diocese of Zahumlje-Raska was established in 1878, the decision was made to have its centre at Nikšić. During the construction of the cathedral from 1895 to 1900, the first bishop of Zahumlje-Raska, Visarion Ljubiša (1878-1882), stayed temporarily in the nearby Ostrog monastery. The cathedral was designed by the Russian architect Mikhail Timofeevich Preobrazhensky.
The Ostrog Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery nested in a cliff of Mount Ostrog. This building is dedicated to St. Basil of Ostrog whose relics are preserved in a 17th century chapel. It is a place of pilgrimage renowned for its miraculous cures.
The Morača Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery founded in 1252. With the Monasteries of Piva and Ostrog, the Morača Monastery is one of the most popular cultural and religious sites in Montenegro.
The church of Saint-Eustache dates from 1773 but has a 19th-century bell tower and a small walled cemetery. The church houses a collection of paintings, especially by the Baroque master Carlo Dolci (1616-1686).
