Cetinje, Serbia Montenegro

Displayed:   times.

This was once the capital of Montenegro. The city is atop a high plateau between the Bay of Kotor and Skadar Lake. When most of this region was absorbed by the Ottoman Empire, the Montenegro desperately hung on to its independence. This was primarily because the area was so easy to defend. Probably the most imposing building in the city is the former palace that is now the State Museum. Just opposite the museum is the former house of Cetinje's prince-bishop. You will want to be sure to visit the Cetinje Monastery. It was founded in 1484 and rebuilt in 1785 and is filled with artifacts, including a collection of liturgical songs that date from 1494.
