Mausoleum of Njegoš
Ivan Meštrović · Cetinje, Montenegro · 1974
Ivan Meštrović’s mountain-top memorial combines a stone architectural enclosure, monumental figures and a dramatic approach. The setting on Lovćen is essential to the experience, making the relationship between national memory, built form and landscape as important as the interior monument itself. Visiting: Entry is ticketed; the 461-step approach and summit views over Lovćen National Park are part of the visit. Mountain destination reached via Lovćen. Plan the road approach, stair ascent and park/monument admission separately.
