Stara Varoš

If you’re exploring a typical European city you would normally start with the old town, the ancient city center. At Podgorica, Montenegro you might be a little bit disappointed with the Stara Varoš. It is the old Osman heart of the city and is today a purely residential zone with small houses and gardens. The people seem to grow wine whereever possible but the interesting places are limited to two old mosques located there.

The first is the Osmanagić mosque from the 18th century, the second one is the Skender Čauševa Džamija mosque from the 15th century. But to be honest, there is not much to see. Interesting around this old quarter are the clock tower (Sahat kula) and the remains of the Ribnica fortress and the old stone bridge next to it.
