Montenegro is a very small country, measuring just 250 km by 200 km, with a population of a little over half a million. However, its history spans nearly 30 centuries. Over the years, Montenegro has experienced hundreds of wars and countless rulers. The country has been conquered and incorporated into various empires, including the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, different religions have dominated at various points in Montenegrin history, sometimes even being imposed by force. Perhaps this explains why Montenegrins today are so tolerant of different faiths. Various religious communities coexist peacefully in the country, without conflicts, oppression, or discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To better understand how religion has evolved in Montenegro, I highly recommend an interesting read on the country\u2019s history<\/a>\u2014from the Roman era to Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Good to know:<\/p>\nThe primary religion in Montenegro is Orthodox Christianity. Around 72% of the population identifies as Orthodox Christians<\/strong>.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A Brief Overview of Orthodox Christianity in Montenegro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As the statistics show, Orthodox Christianity is the dominant faith in the country. Montenegro is home to a vast number of churches and monasteries, some of which are not only religious landmarks but also significant architectural heritage sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most remarkable sites is Ostrog Monastery<\/strong>, built entirely into a cliff at nearly a kilometer above sea level. But Ostrog is just one of many:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
