Montenegro & Old Royal Cetinje

The Old Royal Cetinje Montenegro's capital city from the 15th

century until 1946 is an important cultural, religious and

historical centre for Montenegrins, with harmonious

architecture, best observed in its museums that are amongst

the richest in the country.

The beautiful Old Royal Cetinje is fast emerging as the

Montenegro heritage and cultural centre, due to its Universities

of Art, Drama and Music.

For the first time two town parks were built, near King Nikolas

palace, in the period between 1891.-1984. They were shaped in

a way that, even today, they represent the most important

projects when it comes to landscape architecture

The Njegos Park and the Park of 13 July, in addition to the

Bishop’s Garden, Summer Theatre, the Old Stadium and the

slopes of Orlov krs, constitute an inseparable segment of the

existing monumental and environmental values and an integral

part of the historic center.

Project task is refurbishment of two parks, preservation of its

beauties and introduction of new facilities, cultural events and

contents in the heart of the beautiful Old Royal Cetinje where

our parks are situated.

CURRENT STATE Conclusion on the current state of parks

Palace park (today’s Park of Njegoš) and City park

(today’s Park 13th July) take up an area of 7 ha. They

are separated with The street of Njegoš and are

inseparable part of the historical town center of

Cetinje.

• Areas of parks were changed (particularly relate to

implementation of the Royal Park);

• Character of parks, according to historical and social

circumstances has changed, and consequently their

purpose;

• The architectural elements of the park (gates, fences,

walkways, furniture) are transformed;

• Facilities in the parks, eg. Equipment is damaged;

• Changing Environment defines the new position of

access and movement routes.

• Parks are in different levels (one over another).

Aside from its esthetic value, the park has a distinct

cultural function and together with Bishoup’s garden,

Summer theater, the old stadium and the slope of

Eagle’s rock, the park represent a significant cultural

landscape and integral part of Historical core. Park of

Njegoš is the oldest park-area in town.

The formation of the park is related to building of the

palace for hair to the throne, that is the second part of

19th century. The park was decorated n French style,

which is characterized with clean, strict and

symmetrical geometric shapes of the parcels, straight

paths sprinkled with sand and with borders of box.

PLANNED LANDSCAPING

During the preparation of the landscape design of this park, one of the most important subjects was revitalization of its previous spirit, where the park was created in the French style.

French gardens are by tradition, regular. Design of French gardens (jardin à la française) is a formal, neat style gardening with lots of straight, geometric lines and strong symmetry. The main element of the French garden is parterre and the main perspective. The focus of the French garden is mostly house, palace or castle of which paths radiate beyond, creating a long, axial views.

PARK “13 JULY” PLANNED LANDSCAPING

• Park “13 July” was designed in the English style. Park areas are freely formed with winding paths that lead to star-

crossroads in the middle of the park.

English style in the design of green spaces is committed to the application of organic and natural forms that mimic

natural resources. English natural parks are based on the approximation of nature, there is no use of strict geometric

form and symmetry, and apply organic forms. The most characteristic feature of the English park is its vividness,

imagery, ie. setting compositions based on the principle of landscape paintings, where scenery elements form a park,

center, front and rear plan and are observed with certain points.
