Nikšić, Industrial center in central Montenegro
The city extends across a karst plain at 647 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains and three artificial lakes: Krupac, Slano, and Vrtac.
First established as Anagastum during Roman times, the settlement transformed through Ottoman rule until joining Montenegro through the 1878 Treaty of Berlin.
The County Museum presents regional artifacts while the Cultural Center hosts performances, exhibitions, and the annual Lake Fest music gathering.
The transportation network includes railway connections, major roadways, and the Kapino Polje Airport, making the city accessible from multiple directions.
The construction of the Perućica Hydroelectric Power Plant in 1960 created three lakes that prevent flooding in the Nikšić Field.
