　　Sitting behind castle-like walls on the lower slopes of Gorica hill (Podgorica means 'under Gorica'), this little Orthodox church is the city's oldest. Inside, the remains of centuries-old frescoes are more interesting than the relatively modern gilded iconostasis. More fascinating still is the thoroughly creepy overgrown cemetery behind the enclosure.

Cathedral of Christ’s Resurrection
Podgorica
　　Finally consecrated in 2013 after 20 years of construction, the large dome, white stone towers and gold crosses of this immense Serbian Orthodox cathedral are a striking addition to Podgorica’s skyline.

Stara Varoš
Podgorica

Partially destroyed by NATO bombing in 1999 and abandoned immediately afterwards, the revamped...

Dajbabe Monastery
Podgorica
　　Even if religion isn't your bag, a trip to this unusual little working monastery is worth your while.

The monk who set up the monastery worked...
