Description
The medieval Cetinje Monastery, also known as the Old Cetinje Monastery, was built by Ivan CrnojeviÃâ¡ in 1484, and founded on 4 January 1485, at Ãâ ipur, and dedicated to the birth of the Virgin Mary Hram RoÃ
¾destva presvete Bogorodice. During his stay in Ancona, CrnojeviÃâ¡ was inspired by Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto where he took an oath that he will build a church also dedicated to Virgin Mary upon his return in Zeta.[2] It became the seat of the newly founded Eparchy of Cetinje, a successor to the Metropolitanate of Zeta. Its episcope was Visarion fl. 1485.
