Stara Varoš, Ottoman quarter in Podgorica, Montenegro.

The narrow streets of Stara Varoš contain stone houses, jewelry shops, and local restaurants spread across a network of pedestrian pathways.

Following Ottoman rule in the 15th century, the district developed around a fortress, with most structures experiencing destruction during World War II.

The district preserves two Ottoman mosques and the Sahat Kula clock tower, representing the architectural influence of Turkish settlers in Montenegro.

Visitors access the district through several entry points, with parking facilities located near the Ribnica River and the Natural History Museum.

The Old Ribnica Bridge, constructed during Ottoman times, spans across the Ribnica River and connects both sections of the historic quarter.
