Petar II Petrović-Njegoš Mausoleum
Mountaintop marble tomb of a poet-ruler, reached by a rock tunnel and hundreds of steps.
This guide to the Petar II Petrović-Njegoš Mausoleum, high on Mount Lovćen above Kotor, follows the prince-bishop and poet who picked this summit for his own grave in eighteen forty-five. It traces the empires, kings and governments that each had their own ideas about where he should lie, from Ottoman raiders to the Austro-Hungarian army. Best heard on the summit plateau, after the climb through the tunnel.
