Danilovgrad Municipality is one of the municipalities of Montenegro. The administrative center is the town of Danilovgrad. The municipality is located in the central region of Montenegro in the valley of the Zeta river, sometimes also called the Bjelopavlići plain, after the name of the local tribe.[1]

## Tourism and location

[edit]

Main tourist attraction within the Danilovgrad municipality is Ostrog Monastery, a famous orthodox pilgrimage site visited by believers from afar. It is located on an almost vertical cliff overseeing the Bjelopavlići plain, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) from Danilovgrad, in the direction of Nikšić. Other notable sites of interest are the Ždrebaonik Monastery and the well of Glava Zete. The Municipality lies along the main route between Montenegro's two largest cities, Podgorica and Nikšić. Via villages, Danilovgrad forms part of a conurbation with Podgorica.
