Orlov Krš / Eagle's Rock - a photo on Flickriver

            Dominating the city, this steep rock houses the mausoleum of Prince bishop Danilo I (1826-1860), the first of the Dynastie Njegoš dynasty. The dome houses a stone sarcophagus with engravings in which it is built. It was erected in 1896, to celebrate the bicentennial of the dynasty, based on sketches made by Princess Jelena (one of the daughters of King Nikola I, his nephew and successor) and on plans of a French architect (Frouchet). 

The Prince-Bishop is a very important historical figure for Montenegrins: thanks to him, in 1858, the country gained independence after winning a battle against the Ottoman Empire, which had control over the territory at that time. 

This is the most visited attraction of the city. Declared cultural heritage in 1957, the monument was part of the collection of the national museum since 2012, as well as the fragments of ancient pottery found at the summit in the 1970 s and 1980 s. Walking through nature, depending on the way some locals even see as a pilgrimage route, allowing access to the site, is pleasant. Once the summit has arrived, the rock offers a nice perspective on Cetinje and its surroundings: on one side the rock of the Massif massif and another the panorama on the city.
