Podgorica, Capital city in central Montenegro

The city extends along the confluences of Ribnica and Morača rivers, bordered by mountains and featuring a mix of modern architecture and historical districts.

Founded as Birziminium in 426 AD, the settlement evolved through Roman, Ottoman, and Yugoslav periods before becoming Montenegro's capital in 1946.

The University of Montenegro, Montenegrin National Theatre, and Natural History Museum form the educational and cultural foundation of the capital.

The Podgorica bus station connects travelers to coastal regions, while the international airport serves as the main entry point to Montenegro.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ displays contemporary religious architecture with its concrete and aluminum domes rising above the cityscape.
