Art and architecture enthusiasts should not miss the chance to visit the Rezevici Monastery, located on a picturesque hillside overlooking the coastline near Petrovac. The monastery complex is truly steeped in history and dates back to as early as 1223 when one of the two churches in the complex was dedicated. Throughout the ages invading armies have repeatedly plundered the monastery, but it is still remarkably well preserved despite severe damage from the 1979 earthquake. The three churches in the complex contain well-preserved frescoes and icons, many of which date back to the 16th century and are the reason for the monastery receiving UNESCO World Heritage Status.
