About The Monastery Of Saint Mary In Kostar
Kostar is a tiny village on the slopes of the mountain. The Monastery of Saint Mary is beautifully built at the face of a steep cliff, which makes it a very special location for a monastery. The building is literally carved out of a rock and has a spectacular view over the surrounding valley and villages.
The monastery dates all the way back to 1332 when the first parts were built. The monastery was later extended between 1690-1770. So the building is really old but very beautifully decorated with wall paintings and wooden furniture, so not surprisingly it’s considered as a pilgrimage site by many.
