The monastery is located above the city, on the historic Crkvina Hill, and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

[1] Crkvina Hill has expansive views of Trebinje, with city walls and bridges alongside the Trebišnjica River, and has been a place of pilgrimage throughout the ages.

At the current site of Hercegovacka Gračanica once was the church of St. Michael, the medieval endowment of King Milutin.

[2] Hercegovačka Gračanica was built according to the last wish of the prominent poet and diplomat Jovan Dučić (1871-1943), who wanted to be buried on a hill above Trebinje in a church like "one in Kosovo".
