Serbian Orthodox monastery on Beška island, Montenegro

The Beška Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery on Beška island on Skadar Lake built in the Principality of Zeta of the Serbian Despotate. It has two churches within its complex, the Church of St. George and the Church of the Annunciation to the Theotokos. This church was uninhabited and owned by a local mosque until a negotiation led to ownership falling into the hands of the Serbian Orthodox Church. This church doesn’t represent the local communities who are majority Albanian Muslims.
