Biljarda, Royal residence in Cetinje, Montenegro

The rectangular stone building extends over 70 meters in length and contains 25 rooms distributed across two floors with four defensive towers.

Russian Lieutenant Colonel Jakov Ozeretskovsky designed this fortress-like structure in 1838 for Prince-Bishop Petar II Petrovic Njegos with financial support from Russia.

The structure changed its name from New House to Biljarda after the Italian billiard table that Prince-Bishop Njegos installed in the central room.

The museum opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM between April and November, and from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM from December through March.

The billiard table that gave the building its name required multiple people to carry it on foot from Kotor to Cetinje through mountainous terrain.
