This is an astonishing building, given that it was built as recently as the 1990s. From a distance it could easily be hundreds of years old. As you enter be prepared to have your breath taken away. It has an interior unlike anything I have seen before - quite beautiful. If visiting the city, don't pass up the chance to see this landmark.

This is an Orthodox church in the foothill of the Gorica hill, built between the 9th and 11th centuries, and it is part of a group of pre-Romanesque monuments. This is also the oldest preserved building in Podgorica. Beneath the altar there is a small subterranean passage, which was believed to have led to Duklja.
6. Moraca River
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 192 reviews
The symbol of Podgorica and also the greatest river flowing through the Capital. Its deep riverbed, large rocks and icy temperatures are just some of the main characteristics of this mountain river. On its way through the Capital, Moraca also carved out many caves. It is 113 kilometres long, and it runs from north to south, flowing into the Skadar Lake.

Reviewed By WITYTRAVELS
Just south of downtown to reach the Old Ribnica Bridge. This bridge was built when Montenegro was under the Roman Empire and is the oldest bridge in Podgorica. Today you can see that it had major reconstruction when they were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century. The water was a gorgeous blue. The Ribnica river which flows under this bridge flows right into the Moraca river. When you are here, you can spend time just marveling at the bridge on your feet, or having a seat and really soaking it in. There is blue rushing water that goes under the bridge and there is plenty of land to walk around and enjoy the area.
