With the coming of St. The Basil, who visited places suitable for the life of the little sister and sought his new metropolis, chose these hard-to-reach casings to build a future monastery Upper Monastery.
He cares not only about the prayers and worship of the fraternity, Basil took care of food and sources of income for the residents of the monastery, bought the land from the peasants, and where the bishop gathered the young liberator. Thus, the core of the Lower Monastery was created with a large complex of monastery settlements composed of forests and cultivable land.

On the plateau above the Lower Monastery of 2004, the Church of St Stankin Stanko was erected in which his unconscious hands were transferred from the Ostroški church of the Holy Cross. Lieutenant Stanko (Aleksić) was a great man who the Turks were tortured and killed because he did not show them the way their opponents fled. After the demolition of his tomb in the hands of the Holy martyr Stanka were preserved. During 2013 and 2014, a number of construction interventions were carried out at the Gornji Monastery's harbor, giving the whole complex of the monastery a new glow. At the entrance to the port there is a three-port gate, and the whole courtyard is paved with elaborate stone slabs that are in some parts in the form of a mosaic. Paving of the stairs leading to two churches of the upper monastery was also made. There are numerous mosaics of the saints' characters in the area and in the Gornji and Donji monasteries in different positions.
