Cetinje

Cetinje is the historical capital of Montenegro, a small mountain town set on a karst plain at an elevation of 670 metres, which served as the seat of the Montenegrin royal dynasty until unification with Yugoslavia in 1918. The town retains an unusual density of former embassies — many European powers maintained missions here during the nineteenth century — now preserved as museums and cultural institutions. The Cetinje Monastery, rebuilt multiple times after destruction, holds what is claimed to be the hand of St. John the Baptist.
