Not far from Podgorica, on the way towards Bar there is a monastery Dajbabe which in its foundation has a shape of a cross and represents an interesting sacral edifice to visit. It is located below Dajbaba hill, which dominantly raises above Zeta valley.
The monastery Dajbabe is a monastery dedicated to Uspenje Bogorodice (Falling into sleep of Holy Mother of God) and it got the name by the village in which it is located. It was founded in 1897.

The only visible part of that church is outside the cave and that is a spacious entrance porch with two belfries.
