One of the most beautiful architectural monuments in the city is the Winter Royal Palace located in an incredibly beautiful park. King Nikola I Mirkov Petrović-Njegoš ordered to build this magnificent palace in the late 19th century for his wife. Subsequently, the chic Empire-style palace became the favorite winter residence of the entire royal family. The garden surrounding the palace is of no less historical interest. It has preserved many fine sculptures, squares and decoration elements dating back more than 100 years. The most visited cultural institution of Podgorica is the City Museum that was opened in 1950.

The country's largest square covering an area of 15,000 square meters is surrounded by wonderful alleys of palms and oaks.
