Belavista, Public square in Herceg Novi, Montenegro.
Belavista is a public square in Herceg Novi with white stone architecture, palm trees, and flowering oleander plants throughout. The space includes a church, a town gallery, city archive, pharmacy, and restaurants arranged around its perimeter.
The square developed as part of Herceg Novi's urban growth and connects to a neighboring square through an underground passage beneath a clock tower. This hidden link shows how the town expanded its centers across different periods.
The Church of Saint Archangel Michael shapes how the square looks and feels with its blend of architectural influences from the Mediterranean and East. Its design reflects the many cultures that have left their mark on this coastal town over centuries.
The square has stairs leading down to the sea, making it easy to reach the waterfront from the town center. Various services and eateries are all within walking distance in one location.
Among the plants covering the square grows a ginkgo tree, a species that has remained nearly unchanged for millions of years. Its presence here makes the space home to one of nature's oldest tree varieties.
