The fortress, (Citadel) known as Onogost, was built in the meridian direction, on the top of the rocky, steep hill, which rose 20-25m above the plain, and was 214m long, and in its middle part, where it is most spacious, was about 30m wide. The west wall, a bit longer, was 1,6m thick, and the east wall, on which leaned the lower part of the fortress, was 1,1m thick. To the south, utmost part of the fortress raised the pentagon tower on three floors, Nebojsa, and at the north the octagon tower.

Castle, the oldest part of the fortress was situated in the middle, and it consisted of two platforms for cannons, the place for sleeping for the two watchmen, and the deep basement, built in the vault which served as a storage for the ammunition. In the west wall, above Pop, beside Nebojsa, the tower without windows and doors was built in, with the basement, in which the severely punished prisoners where put down by the rope. The people called this tower Petkovica, by the Herzegovina chief of the band of haiduks, Petko Kovacevic. At the uppermost part of the fortress was the artillery platform from which 14 cannons could fire in all directions. Two smaller platforms were accustomed, each for one cannon, and at the south and east part of the fortress could be placed 6-8 cannons individually.
The lower town (the part of the fortress at the foot of the hill) was built in the form of a quadrangle. Protected by the fortress, with which it made a totality, and by the three walls, 4m high, and 1,45-1,5m thick, with the towers at the angles and in the middle, it was a little bit narrower than the upper town. The east wall of the Lower town, on whose angles were Proscenia and octagonal tower, with the well, and with the Grand gate in the middle, was 104m long. The south wall was 66m long and the north, 86m. The transport towers were prepared for the infantry defense. The crown of the walls around the lower town passed through the towers and the soldiers could move along it.

Svac – The Old Town of Sas. This medieval town near Ulcinj is situated on a plateau above Lake Sas and falls into the most appealing “dead towns” on the Adriatic coast.
Svac (Sas) was mentioned in the eleventh century as an episcopal town (Svacia Civitas). Around 1183 it was conquered by Stefan Nemanja who annexed it to Raska with other Zeta towns. The Mongolians razed it to the ground in 1242 in the course of their invasion of Ulcinj.
Svac was rebuilt, to be utterly devastated in 1571 when seized by the Turks.
According to a legend from the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries, Svac used to have as many churches as there are days in a year. Today, one can discern in its ruins the foundations of eight churches, the two largest being the older Romanesque Cathedral Church of St. John (Shen Jovanit) located at the highest point of the town, and the younger Gothic-style Franciscan Church of St. Mary (Shen Mrise) situated on a plateau in the lower part of the town. They were both single-nave churches split in the middle into two parts by a low partition wall and covered by a ceiling. All churches in Svac were decorated with architectural ornaments and frescoes, and in some of them even today one may discern traces of colour on the walls. Archaeological research on this “dead” town has not been completed yet.

Đurđevića Tara Bridge is an arch bridge over the Tara River in northern Montenegro. It is located at the crossroads between Mojkovac, Žabljak and Pljevlja, between the villages of Budečevica and Trešnjica.
It was built between 1937 and 1940 and designed by Mijat Trojanović, who also oversaw the construction. Isaac Russo was the Chief Engineer. When it was finished, it was the biggest vehicular concrete arch bridge in Europe.
The bridge is 365 m long, and has five arches, the biggest having span of 116 m. The distance between the roadbed and the river is 172 m.
Following the German-led invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, much of Montenegro, including the Tara Canyon, came under Italian occupation, and, due to the suitability of the mountainous terrain for guerilla warfare, became a hotbed of the communist Partisan uprising. The fighting between the Partisans and Italian occupiers aided by Serb-nationalist Chetniks claimed the Tara Bridge in 1942 during an Italian-Chetnik offensive. Aided by one of the bridge engineers, Lazar Jaukovic, a Partisan raiding party blew up the central arch, cutting off the only feasible crossing over the Tara Canyon and thus blocking the Italian/Chetnik advance. It was a heroic act that cost Jaukovic his life: When he was eventually captured, the Italians executed the engineer on his bridge. These events were made into a movie called “Most”, in [1969].
In 1946, the bridge was rebuilt. It remains an engineering marvel and the main crossing point over the Tara Canyon.

The Millennium Bridge (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Мост Миленијум) is a cable-stayed bridge that spans Morača River, in Podgorica, Montenegro.
The bridge was designed by slovenian company Ponting and Mladen Ulićević, a professor at Faculty of Civil Engineering in Podgorica. It was built by Slovenian company Primorje, and opened on July 13, 2005, Montenegro’s National Day. It quickly became one of the city’s most prominent landmarks.
The bridge is 140 m long, and the pylon soars 57 m above the roadbed. Twelve cables support the roadway deck, while twenty four more are attached to the counterweights, creating an imposing image.
The construction of the bridge began in 2005, and the building cost was approximately 7 million euros. The roadway carries two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway in each direction. The bridge connects the Boulevard of Ivan Crnojević in city center and July 13th street in the new part of city, thus relieving the other congested bridges connecting city center with densely populated districts over the Morača river.
