Zaostrog is a tourist place and port along the Adriatic Sea in southern Dalmatia, Croatia. It is located between Makarska and Ploche. It consists of two parts, the older part below the steep limestone part of the Biokovo mountain range and the newer coastal belt. Zaostrog was first called "Ostrog" and was one of the larger cities of the Narentine pirates.The village is dominated by the more than half-millennium-old Franciscan monastery of St. Mary of the Assumption, which has an open-air museum, ethnological collection, gallery and a large archive with over 30,000 titles, including 400-year-old incanabula, which form a significant part of Dalmatian history.

The history of the place is rich and preserved and it has some amazing sites that we visited with my friends when we toured around the village. The Monastery was beautiful and we enjoyed every moment that we spent around seeing the wonderful things at the place and overly through it all.

I visited the place with a small camera for myself and took some wonderful pictures at the museum and the collection of art and the gallery was superb. I loved my time and the trip to the place was totally worth the go.
