Originally kept at Phileremos Monastery in Rhodes, the icon was long venerated as the patroness of the Knights Hospitaller, and kept at Rhodes and Malta. It is now kept in the Museum of Art and History at Cetinje, Montenegro.

This tour captures the significant historical and cultural essence of Cetinje and its governance during Montenegro’s challenging medieval times. You will explore the aged Montenegrin institutions, now embodying museums of a bygone era, and the time-honored monasteries. Our guide will escort you to the Cetinje’s monastery, also referred to as Petar I Petrović’s monastery, constructed in the early phase of the 18th Century. You will explore the 19th Century castles such as the new castle, Biljarda, devoted to our leader and poet Njegoš. From this point, your walk will extend towards the palace of King Nicholas, now converted into a museum. The museum displays battle trophies, and allows you to weave through the rooms once inhabited by King Nicholas and his kin. Following the castle exploration, our guide will direct you to the former parliament building, currently serving as the National Museum. Home to one of Christianity’s most critical relics, Our of Virgin Filermosa, the museum represents an essential facet of the tour.
