Stara Varoš, Podgorica, Crna Gora

Stara Varoš is the oldest settlement in Podgorica, located on the banks of the river Ribnica. It got its name after the part of the city on the other side of the river Ribnica called Nova Varoš was constructed (80s of the nineteenth century). The settlement dates back to the period of Ottoman rule (1474) when Podgorica was conquered. There are two mosques here that serve as a monument from the Ottoman period. Of the historical monuments, the Clock Tower from the 17th century is also significant. Although located in the center of the city, Stara Varos has retained the architecture of small compact family houses with narrow streets. If you want to feel the charm of old Podgorica, buying a house for renovation is the right solution.
