Prodigal Girl Of Podgorica

Welcome to Podgorica, Montenegro’s capital and largest city, situated in central Montenegro near Lake Skadar and the Adriatic Sea. The city’s name, Podgorica, comes from the Montenegrin word “Gorica,” meaning “little/small hill,” referring to the cypress-covered hillocks in the area. With a rich history dating back to the Roman era, Podgorica has remnants of the ancient town of Doclea nearby. Visitors can take in many sites in Podgorica including its impressive brutalist architecture, the former royal palace, its numerous monuments, museums, street art, and cafes.
