"Serbiens zweites Auge" MONTENEGRO

Tivat

city of Tivat is on the other shore. on the far right, it's that "flowers island", there's some monastery on some tiny island too, and on the far left we can see narrowest point of the Bay of Kotor, between Lepetane and Bijela settlements. That's enterance to other two smaller bays, Risan bay and Kotor bay, that together with Tivat bay form Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor).
Light conditions for this photo were a bit weird, it was sunny but cold February day, so everything was over-exposed and really tricky to take a shot.

Njegoš Mausoleum (Serbian King of Montenegro)

lovcen_v.jpg


The biggest and most important monument of Lovćen national park is Njegoš's Mausoleum. The location for his burial place and the mausoleum at the summit of Jezerski vrh was chosen by Njegoš himself as his last wish.

However, Njegoš's express wish was to be buried in a small chapel which he had built in his lifetime. This was done, but the original chapel was destroyed when the Austro-Hungarian army invaded Montenegro. Njegoš's remains were then transferred into Cetinje Monastery and buried in the chapel rebuilt by King Alexander in 1920s. Contrary to Njegoš's express wishes to be buried in that chapel, the then communist powers of Montenegro, supported by Mitropolija, destroyed the chapel and built in its stead a monumental mausoleum in Viennese Secession style. The design was that of Ivan Meštrović who, although world-famous, had never set foot on Lovćen.

The protests erupted in 1970 with many famous Yugoslav public figures, of both Montenegrin and non-Montenegrin origin, complaining of what they described as barbaric breaking of Njegoš's last will.
