Podgorica is considered one of the historical and cultural centers of the Mediterranean and Europe as a whole. It is worth noting that, according to official documents, the capital of Montenegro is the city of Cetinje, however, both business and political centers and institutions that are of national importance are located in Podgorica. On the territory of this wonderful city in the entire history of its existence (which dates back to the Mesolithic period), many religious and cultural institutions, fortresses and castles were built. Many of them have now turned into ruins, but this does not reduce the number of tourists in the country.
During the existence of the Roman Empire, the current unofficial capital of Montenegro belonged to this state. Despite the power of a foreign procurator, Montenegrins and Serbs lived on the territory of the country, as they do now. Later, the territory of the city began to be populated by Albanians, who currently make up a thirdpopulation of Podgorica. A considerable percentage of Slavic blood is located on the territory of this state, because in the 11th-12th centuries, before the Turks and Mongol-Tatars seized power over this region, tribes that came from Kievan Rus lived here.
The name given to the city because of its landscape features. The metropolis is located under three large hills, the highest of which is called Goritsa. This name was first mentioned in documents dating back to 1326, and since then it has changed several times, however, like the state of Montenegro itself. Podgorica, however, has always had its former name for the indigenous people.
Unfortunately, all those ancient and historically important monuments of art and architecture that were located on the territory of the city earlier are inaccessible to the gaze of a modern tourist. The fact is that during the Second World War the city was completely destroyed, and most of the buildings remained, at best, the foundation. In 1946, the capital of Montenegro was renamed Titograd and built up with buildings of a new type. Also in the middle of the last century, the Podgorica airport was built there, which is of world importance and is a large transport hub.
The history of Podgorica can be seen in its museums and other cultural institutions. The city is rich in state libraries and theatres, galleries and monuments, among which a tribute to Russian poetry is paid. It is presented in the form of a monument to Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, which is located inthe central part of the city. It is also worth noting that in addition to intellectual attractions, the capital of Montenegro is full of natural virtues. Tropical mild climate and proximity to the Adriatic Sea, a large amount of greenery and flowers - this is the main decoration of Podgorica.
This warm city is “pierced” by the waters of five rivers. On the outskirts of the metropolis there are river beaches where you can relax no worse than on the sea coast. And hotels, which are more than enough on the territory of Podgorica, will help any tourist to comfortably stay in the city.
