The Podmalinsko Monastery ({{langx|sr|Манастир Подмалинско|Manastir Podmalinsko}}), also known as the Tušinski Monastery, is a Serbian Orthodox monastery near Šavnik in modern-day Montenegro (then Kingdom of Serbia).
Etymology
The name of the monastery is derived from the name of the village Malinsko on the hill Kravica, on the other side of the river Bukovica. It means beneath ({{langx|sr|под, pod}}) Malinsko. The monastery was also referred to as Tušinski Monastery after the nearby village Tušina.{{harvnb|P. Jovićević|2011|p=123}}
Location and buildings
The monastery is situated in the valley of the river Bukovica, next to its right bank, between the villages of Malinsko and Tušina in the region traditionally belonging to Drobnjaci{{cite book|title=Communications|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QfBLAAAAYAAJ|year=1984|publisher=Zavod|page=181|quote=Манастир Подмалинско, са црквом посвећеном арханђелу Михаилу, смештен је на десној обали речице Буковице, на око три километра низводно од ссла Тушине у Дробњацима. }} and to Uskoci.{{cite book|author=Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|title=Glas|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7sErAQAAIAAJ|year=1971|page=347|quote= У Уекоцима постоји манастир Подмалинско. }}

North of the church there are ruins of the various buildings that once belonged to this monastery and small graveyard with the grave of Mirko Aleksić, a notable voivode of Malinsko who cut off the head of Smail-aga Čengić, killed by unknown Montenegrin fighter in 1840 on Mletičak plateau near the monastery.{{cite book|last=Raičević|first=Slobodan|script-title=sr:Манастир Подмалинско код Шавника|year=1984|publisher=Републички завод за заштиту споменика културе – Београд|pages=181|url=http://www.heritage.gov.rs/Download/Saopstenja/Saopstenje-XVI-1984/Saopstenje_XVI_1984_Manastir_Podmalinsko_kod_Savnika.pdf|language=sr}}{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
History
It is believed to be built by Stephen Uroš I of Serbia around 1252. According to the legend, he built this monastery right after Stefan Vukanović Nemanjić built Morača Monastery. People were lined along {{convert|20|km}} route between the stone mine in Tušina village and the construction site of Morača Monastery. When the building of the Morača Monastery was completed the stones that remained in the hands of the lined people were returned to place near the mine and used to build Podmalinsko Monastery.{{cite web|last=Vuksanović|first=Miro|title=Sve ima Božiji redosled|url=http://pravoslavlje.spc.rs/broj/941/tekst/sve-ima-boziji-redosled/print/lat|publisher=Svetigora|access-date=29 July 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221192248/http://pravoslavlje.spc.rs/broj/941/tekst/sve-ima-boziji-redosled/print/lat|archive-date=21 February 2014|df=dmy-all}} The monastery was destroyed and rebuilt many times in its history.{{cite web|title=Манастир Подмалинско|url=http://www.savnik.me/index.php?page=relikvi-e|publisher=Savnik municipality website|access-date=30 July 2013}} The monastery was gathering place of the members of Drobnjaci tribe who traditionally held meetings there, last time in 1840 to decide to inform Njegoš about their intention to kill Smail-aga Čengić.{{cite book|title=Istorijski zapisi|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CmoNAQAAIAAJ|access-date=30 July 2013|year=1952|publisher=Istorijski institut SR Crne Gore c|page=76|quote=Одржа- вани су сасганци, а последњи је састанак одржан у манастиру Подмалинско, гдје Дробњаци ријеше да своју намјеру за Смаил-агино убиство саопште Владици и затраже од њега помоћ...}} After this event Ottomans plundered Drobnjaci and destroyed the monastery.
