Chronicles of Podgorica

Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, was founded in 1494 by the Ottomans as a strategic fortress, and its original name, Ribnica, reflects its role as a trading hub. After being largely destroyed in World War II, the city was rebuilt in a mix of socialist modernist and brutalist styles, which still dominate its architecture today. This blend of old and new is reflected in the city's cultural identity, which is a unique fusion of Mediterranean and Balkan influences. Podgorica is also home to a number of museums and galleries, showcasing the country's rich history and artistic heritage. The city's nickname, 'the Turbulent Soul of Montenegro', reflects its complex and often turbulent past.

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Centre Point Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd floor) as they might be noisier due to the proximity to the street and potential foot traffic.

🪟

Best views
