Monument

The Mausoleum of Njegoš is a mausoleum interring Petar II Petrović-Njegoš located on the top of Jezerski Vrh Peak on Mount Lovćen. The mausoleum is located twenty-one kilometres via asphalt road from near-by Cetinje and it was built on the idea of Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. It was built on the same location of the Njegoš Testament Church which Njegoš had built in 1845 with the intention of being buried there and which he dedicated to his predecessor Petar I Petrović-Njegoš (who is canonized as Saint Peter of Cetinje in the Serbian Orthodox Church). The church suffered damage from bombardment in both World Wars. In 1974, despite protest from the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral and local Orthodox Christians, the old church was ordered demolished by a commission of the League of Communists of Montenegro led by Veljko Milatović and today's mausoleum was built.

Historic Site

Stirovnik is the highest peak of the Lovćen mountain range in Montenegro with an elevation of 1,749 meters (5,738 ft) above sea level. Its summit is occupied by a telecommunications tower and a military facility that restricts public access. Consequently, access to the very top is not permitted for the general public or tourists, making significantly less visited than the nearby and more accessible secondary peak of Lovćen, Jezerski vrh (1,657 m), which is also the site of the Njegos Mausoleum.
