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.

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