Glavna ulica
Najbolji način da upoznate grad je da,
kao i svaki pravi Beranac, prošetate
predveče čuvenim beranskim korzom.
Prostrana i neuobičajeno široka,
glavna ulica bila je i ostala središte
svih zbivanja. Projektovao ju je turski
arhitekta Rizvan beg, tek svršeni
student arhitekture sa Sorbone, po
ugledu na pariske bulevare. Ovdje
je otvorena prva apoteka, prva benzinska pumpa, prvi hoteli i hanovi. Tu su
se nalazile najbolje pekare i ćevabdžinice, nekoliko kafana i brojne zanatske
radnje. I danas je glavna ulica poznata po mjestima gdje možete da uživate u
tradicionalnim specijalitetima: bureku, pastrmci sa roštilja, slatkom kačamaku,
ali i u poznatom beranskom gostoprimstvu.
Stari grad
Ovdje, na širokom platou tik uz
glavnu ulicu, nekada se nalazio
begluk – glavni gradski trg i pijaca. Tu
su se prodavale razne vrste žitarica,
mlijeko, voće i povrće, a u okolnim
dućanima mogli su se kupiti različiti
manufakturni proizvodi. U blizini su
se nalazili hanovi gdje su trgovci uz
kafu ugovorali poslove. Na zapadnoj
strani begluka, 1883. godine, podignuta je vakufska kuća, spoj tradiconalne i
orijentalne arhitekture, sa pet drvenih stubova i dva polukružna drvena luka u
prizemlju. Sastavni dio vakufske kuće bile su čuvene gradske česme zbog kojih
je i bila
poznatija kao „kuća kod česama“. Do njih je voda dolazila
bukovim čunkovima sa manastirskog vrela kod Đurđevih
Stupova. Bio je to prvi gradski vodovod dugačak 2
km.
Polimski muzej

etnografske,
numizmatičke,

Kako stići - Transport
Vojvoda Gavro Vuković (Lijeva Rijeka, 1852
– Berane, 1928) bio je dugogodišnji ministar
spoljnih poslova Crne Gore i utemeljivač
moderne crnogorske diplomatije. Sin poznatog
cmogorskog glavara Miljana Vukova Vešovića,
bio je prvi školovani pravnik u Crnoj Gori.
Uspješno je vodio crnogorsku diplomatiju
u teškim pregovorima o razgraničenju sa
Osmanskim carstvom. Iza sebe je ostavio
preko hiljadu strana „Memoara“ u kojima je
napravio prikaz spoljne politike Crne Gore
sa kraja 19. i početka 20. Vijeka. U prizemlju
spomen kuće vojvode Gavra Vukovića nalazi se radna soba sa bibliotekom, u
kojoj se čuvaju njegove lične stvari i brojni rukopisi.
Manastir
Đurđevi Stupovi
Manastir Đurđevi Stupovi jedan je od
najznačajnijih i najstarijih manastira u
Polimlju. Podignut 1213. godine kao
zadužbina župana Stefana Prvoslava,
u njemu je Sveti Sava uspostavio
budimljansku
episkopiju.
Uprkos
činjenici da je pet puta paljen i razaran,
manastir je uspio da se održi, ostajući centar duhovnog i političkog života
pravoslavnog stanovništva za vrijeme turske vlasti. Za freske Đurđevih Stupova
kažu da su „u ljutim ranama“ jer je najveći broj prvobitnog freskopisa iz 14. vijeka
stradao u čestim napadima na manastir. Na onome što je ostalo prepoznaje
se ruka darovitih dečanskih majstora. Jednobrodna crkva posvećena Svetom
velikomučeniku Georgiju pripada arhitekturi kakva se do tada razvijala u
primorju u 11. i 12. vijeku.
Nalazite se u Beranama, gradu na Limu okruženom obroncima visokih planina
sa bajkovitim ledničkim jezerima. I dok uživate u svježem vazduhu i idiličnim
planinskim prizorima, ne zaboravite da se nalazite u kulturnom središtu Polimlja
naseljenom još od praistorije.

Spomenik Slobode
na Jasikovcu
Najljepši pogled na grad pruža
se sa brda Jasikovac, omiljenog
izletišta Beranaca koje se nalazi na
samo kilometar od centra grada.
Tu su Turci posle boja na Rudešu
1862. godine podigli svoje vojno
utvrđenje i sa njega kontrolisali
okolno stanovništvo. Danas se na
Jasikovcu nalazi spomenik Slobode
posvećen žrtvama oslobodilačkih ratova. Ovaj neobični spomenik visok 18
metara, okružen je sa 40 granitnih blokova na kojima je sa više od 10.000 slova
ispisana istorija Polimlja.
Manastir Šudikova
Idilični pejzaži Tifranske klisure
skrivaju jedan od najznačajnijih
manastira u ovom dijelu
Polimlja. Vjekovima je manastir
Šudikova bio važan duhovni
i kulturni centar sa poznatom
spisateljskom i freskopisačkom
školom iz koje je potekao i
čuveni zograf pop Strahinja
Budimljanin. Turski osvajači zapalili su manastir 1738. godine, a njegovo
obnavljanje započelo je 2005. godine. U blizini manastira nalazi se izvor nazvan
Sveto vrelo koji se i po nekoliko puta dnevno pojavi i nestane pod zemljom.
Legenda kaže da je ova ljekovita voda pomogla i oslijepjelom kralju Stefanu
Dečanskom. Nedaleko od manastira u Tifranskoj klisuri, nalazi se spomenik
kralju
Aleksandru
Karađorđeviću
podignut 1929. godine.
Manastir Kaludra
Na devetom kilometru od Berana,
u selu Kaludra, okružen bogatim
šumama i visokim planinama, nalazi se
manastir Svetog Luke. Podignut u 14.
vijeku, za vrijeme Nemanjića, vjeruje se
Nastanak grada
Temelje varoši Berana postavio je Mehmed beg Bahtijarević-Jajčanin vojni zapovjednik i
gradski kajmakam. Posle bitke na Rudešu 1862. godine, turska vojska podigla je utvrđenje
na Jasikovcu, a potom i drveni most na Limu i kasarne i konjušnice na lijevoj obali rijeke, na
mjestu gdje se danas nalazi bolnica. Dolaskom zanatlija i trgovaca iz Bijelog Polja, Nikšića,
Peći i drugih krajeva Crne Gore, naselje se brzo i stihijski širilo. Mehmed beg Jajčanin i
sam je uticao na uređenje i razvoj grada odredivši pravce i širine ulica. Kada je umro 1896.
godine, na njegovoj dženazi – poslednjem ispraćaju, po prvi put su prisutvovali stanovnici
obje vjeroispovijesti.
Beranski korzo
Kažu da je beranski korzo star koliko
i sam grad. Neuobičajeno široka
glavna ulica kao stvorena je da se
njom prošetaju, naprave nekoliko
krugova, „vide i budu viđeni“, za tu
priliku dotjerani šetači. Tradicionalno
su sredinom ulice šetali stariji,
„ozbiljniji“ ljudi, sa desne mladi
Beranci, a sa lijeve mladi iz okoline grada. Korzo je uvijek bio veoma važan dio gradskog
života, pa se tako u periodu kada je glavna ulica bila otvorena za saobraćaj, sa jednom
kolovoznom i dvije pješačke trake, od 17/18 do 22h ona zatvarala za saobraćaj i pretvrala
u gradsko šetalište. Korzo se, kao i sam grad, vremenom mijenjao. Krajem 20 vijeka
glavna ulica je popločana, a brojni kafići otvoreni sa obje strane ulice. Iako je sada prostor
za šetnju smanjen, Beranci nisu napustili svoj korzo, samo su ga drugačije organizovali.
Sada se od 18h do 21h ulicom šetaju stariji ljudi i roditelji sa djecom, a od 21h pa nadalje
okupljaju se mladi.
Ivangrad
Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, 1949. godine, Berane mijenja ime u Ivangrad, po narodnom
heroju iz Crne Gore, Ivanu Milutinoviću. Istaknuti komunista i revolucionar Ivan Milutinović
učestvovao je u organizovanju partizanskih odreda širom zemlje. Nakon 43 godine,
referendumom je odlučeno da se gradu vrati stari naziv Berane.
REGIONALNA RAZVOJNA AGENCIJA

da ga je freskopisao čuveni pop Strahinja iz Budimlja. Razoren je i zapustio u
17. vijeku u doba turske vladavine. Posle tri vijeka manastir je 2001. godine,
obnovljen i oslikan. U blizini manastira nalaze se teško pristupačne pećine
isposnice, u kojima su tokom srednjeg vijeka živjeli i pripremali se za monaški
život kaluđeri isposnici. I danas se mogu prepoznati tragovi njihovog obitavanja
kao što su sjedišta uklesana u stijeni.
Džamija u Petnjici
Jedina trospratna džamija u regionu
nalazi se u Petnjici. Na dvadesetak
kilometara od Berana, naići ćete
na jednu od najvećih džamija na
Balkanu, jedinstvene arhitekture sa
drvenim, ručno rezbarenim stubovima.
Podignuta kao mala seoska džamija,
više puta je dograđivana i obnavljana
prilozima građana, da bi sa sadašnjom
površinom od 550m2 mogla da primi
i do 1200 vjernika. U narodu postoji
predanje da je kamen za njenu izgradnju
donešen sa džamije koja se nalazila u
srednjevjekovnom utvrđenju Bihor.
Petnjički kraj
Na 700 metara nadmorske visine, u dolini rijeke Popče, nalazi se varoš
Petnjica, središte Gornjeg Bihora. Petnjički kraj poznat je po jabukama
i izvorskoj vodi, a najviše po bogatoj istoriji. Naseljen još u bronzanom
dobu, na arheološkom lokalitetu Torine čuva ostatke jedne od najznačajnijih
eneolitskih kultura u Crnoj Gori. Tu je pronađena i jedinstvena ženska figurina
stara 5000 godina. Na brdu
Gradina nalaze se ostaci
srednjevjekovnog grada Bihora,
koji je tokom srednjeg vijeka i
turske vladavine dominirao ovim
dijelom Polimlja. Za ovaj kraj
vezane su i mnoge legende, a
najzanimljivija je ona o Brativiru,
vodopadu neizmjerne ljepote,
iza koga kažu da se krije pećina
sa blagom.

The Main Street
The best way to explore the town is to
take an evening walk along the famous
promenade, like any true resident of
Berane. The spacious and unusually
wide main street was, and still is today,
the centre of all events. It was designed
by the Turkish architect Rizvan-bey.
Having just graduated from the
University of Sorbonne, he modelled
the promenade on Parisian boulevards. This street was the place where the
first pharmacy was opened, the first petrol station, as well as the first hotels
and inns. The main street included the best bakeries and grill houses, a few
cafés and a number of craft shops. Nowadays, the main street is a well-known
place for enjoying traditional specialities: burek, grilled trout, sweet kačamak
(cornmeal mash), and the hospitality of the people of Berane.
The old town
A long time ago, the beyluk, the
main town square and market, was
located on a wide plateau near the
main street. It was the place where
merchants used to sell different
types of cereals, milk, fruits and
vegetables, and in nearby shops
they displayed various manufactured
goods. Just across the street, inside
the inns, merchants would sit and make business deals. In 1883, on the west
side of the beyluk, a waqf (endowment) house was built. It was a blend of
traditional and Middle-Eastern architecture, with five wooden pillars and two
semicircular wooden arches on the ground plan. The two famous city fountains
were an integral part of the waqf house, which led to it being known as the
“house beside the drinking fountains”. The drinking fountains
were filled from water from the monastery’s spring which was
transferred through beech pipes. It was the first twokilometre-long town water supply system.
Museum of the Polimlje Region
Over 9,000 exhibits from the archaeological,
ethnographic, numismatic, heraldic, natural history and
art collections of the museum will reveal what life was
like in Polimlje from prehistory to the present day. Tools

How to Get There – Transport
Air: the closest airport is in Podgorica (150 km)
Duke Gavro Vukovic (Lijeva Rijeka, b.1852, d.
Berane, 1928) was the long-time Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Montenegro and the founder of
Montenegrin modern diplomacy. He was the son
of the famous Montenegrin official Miljan Vukov
Vešović and the first trained lawyer in Montenegro.
He successfully led Montenegrin diplomacy
during difficult negotiations on determining the
borders of the Ottoman Empire. Gavro Vuković left
a legacy of thousands of pages of his “Memoirs”
which are a showcase of Montenegrin foreign
policy from the late 19th century and the early
years of the 20th century. On the ground floor of the Gavro Vuković Memorial
House there is a study with a library which houses his personal belongings and
numerous manuscripts.
Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery
Djurdjevi Stupovi Monastery is one
of the most important and oldest
monasteries in Polimlje. It was built in
1213 as an endowment of Prince Stefan
Prvoslav and in this monastery, St. Sava
established the Episcopacy of Budimlje.
Despite the fact it was burned down
and destroyed five times, the monastery
was able to remain the centre of the
spiritual and political life of the Orthodox
population during Ottoman rule. The
frescoes in the monastery are in bad
condition because most of the original frescoes from the 14th century suffered
during frequent attacks on the monastery. It is easy to detect the workmanship
of master craftsmen from Dečani. The architecture of the single-nave church
dedicated to St. George the Great-Martyr is the same as the architecture that
was developing on the coast during the 11th and 12th centuries.
You are in Berane, a town on the River Lim, surrounded by high mountain
slopes, with fabulous glacial lakes. And while you are enjoying the fresh air and
idyllic mountain scenery, do not forget that you are also in the cultural centre of
the Polimlje region, inhabited since prehistoric times.

The Monument to
Liberty in Jasikovac
The most beautiful view of the town is
from Jasikovac Hill, a favourite picnic
spot for the inhabitants of Berane. It
is located just one kilometre from
the town centre. It was the place
where the Ottomans built their military
fortification after the battle in Rudeš
in 1862. From that point they controlled the local population. Nowadays,
instead of a military fortification, there is a monument dedicated to the victims
of the struggles for liberation. This unusual eighteen-metre-tall monument is
surrounded by 40 granite blocks where the history of the Polimlje region is
written in 10,000 letters.
Šudikova Monastery
The idyllic landscape of the Tifran
Gorge hides one of the most
important monasteries in this part
of Polimlje. For centuries, Šudikova
Monastery was an important
spiritual and cultural centre with a
well-known scriveners’ school and
fresco-painting school. The famous
painter and priest Strahinja of
Budimlje attended this school. Ottoman invaders razed the monastery in 1738,
and rebuilding work began in 2005. Near the monastery there is a spring called
the Sacred Spring which appears and disappears underground several times a
day. Legend says that this healing water healed the blind King Stefan of Dečani.
Not far from the monastery in the Tifran Gorge, there is a monument dedicated
to King Aleksandar Karadjordjević that was built in 1929.
Kaludra Monastery
About nine kilometres from Berane, in
the village of Kaludra, is the Monastery
of St. Luke, surrounded by dense
forests and high mountains. It was built
in the 14th century during the rule of the
Nemanjić dynasty. It is believed that the
famous painter, Priest Strahinja from
Budimlje, painted all of the frescoes in
The Founding of the City
The foundations of the town of Berane were laid by Mehmed-bey Bahtijarević-Jajcanin, the
military chief and city sub-governor. After the Battle of Rudeš in 1862, the Ottoman army
erected a fortification at Jasikovac, and then a wooden bridge over the River Lim, and
barracks and stables on the left bank of the river, on the site of the present-day hospital.
The military and administrative authorities were established as well as the District of Berane
within the Skadar Sandzak. With the arrival of craftsmen and traders from Bijelo Polje,
Niksic, Pec and other parts of Montenegro, the settlement spread quickly and chaotically.
Mehmed-bey Jajcanin himself influenced the planning and development of the town,
assigning the road layout and street widths. When he died in 1896, for the first time,
residents of both religions were present at his funeral – to give their last farewell.
The Promenade
People
say
that
Berane’s
promenade is old as the city itself.
An unusually broad main street, as
if made for walking, with walkers
completing a few laps, to “see and
be seen” and share all essential and
non-essential news, groomed for the
occasion. The promenade had its
own peculiarities. Traditionally, the
middle of the street is the part for
older, “more serious” people, with the young people of Berane on the right side, and on
the left side, young people from the surrounding villages. Every group had its own section
of the street, some of them gathered at kiosks and others at shops, and so on, all along
the main street. Many love stories began on the promenade because it used to be the only
place where young people could go out and meet each other. The promenade has always
been an important part of town life, and this was also true in the period when the main
street was open to traffic, with one lane for traffic and two for pedestrians. Between 5 or 6
pm and 10 pm it was closed to traffic and that was when it became the town promenade.
The promenade, like the city itself, has changed over time. At the end of the 20th century
the main street was paved, and many outdoor cafes were opened on either side of the
street. Although the space for walking is reduced now, the people of Berane have not
forgotten the promenade – they have just organized it differently. Now, between 6 pm and
9 pm it is occupied by
older people and parents with children, and
from 9 pm young people
gather there and walk along the promenade.

the monastery. It was neglected and destroyed during Ottoman rule in the 17th
century. In 2001, after three centuries, the monastery was rebuilt and painted.
Near the monastery and almost completely inaccessible are anchorites’ cells
built into caves, in which, during the Middle Ages, monks lived and prepared
themselves for an ascetic life. Even today, it is possible to see signs of their
habitation in seats carved out of the rock.
The Mosque in Petnjica
The only three-storey mosque in the
region is located in Petnjica. About twenty
kilometers from Berane, you’ll find one
of the largest mosques in the Balkans,
unique in its architecture, made of wood,
with hand-carved pillars. It was built as a
small village mosque, but was repeatedly
expanded and updated with the help of
contributions from the local townspeople.
With its present size of 550m2 it can
accommodate up to 1,200 worshippers.
Legend says that the stone for its
construction was taken from the medieval
fortress at Bihor.
The Region of Petnjica
The town of Petnjica is located in the valley of the River Popča, 700 metres
above sea level, at the centre of the Gornji Bihor area. The region of Petnjica
is famous for its apples and spring water, but most of all for its rich history.
This area has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and at the archaeological
site of Torine the remains of one of the most important Eneolithic cultures
in Montenegro are preserved. A unique female figurine, 5000 years old,
was found on this site. Gradina
Hill holds the remains of the
medieval city of Bihor, which
dominated this part of Polimlje
during the Middle Ages and
Ottoman rule. There are many
legends connected to this region,
the most interesting one of which
is to do with Brativir: a legend
about a waterfall of extraordinary
beauty behind which, they say, a
cave full of treasure is hidden.

Sve priče o životu i istoriji Berana
počinju i završavaju se u glavnoj
ulici. I njeno ime mijenjalo se u
zavisnosti od istorijskih zbivanja
i okolnosti. Tokom godina bila je:
Glavna čaršija, ulica Kralja Nikole,
ulica Kralja Petra Oslobodioca,
ulica
Kralja
Aleksandra
Ujedinitelja, Via Viktora Emanuela,
Glavna Ulica, ulica Maršala Tita,
da bi od 1994. do današnjih
dana nosila ime Mojsija Zečevića.
Potpuno
neuobičajena
za
osmanlijsko gradsko uređenje,
glavna ulica je prava i široka.
Projektovao ju je, po ugledu na
evropske metropole, Rizvan beg,
čuveni arhitekta i pariski đak.
Berane je tako dobilo najprostraniju
i najširu ulicu među tadašnjim
turskim gradskim naseobinama
na ovom dijelu Balkana.
Glavna ulica bila je i ostala centar
svih dešavanja. Svako popodne,
ona bi se pretvarala u najljepše
i najveće gradsko šetalište –
čuveni Beranski korzo. Sredinom
korza šetali bi polagano stariji
i ozbiljniji Beranci, razmatrajući
kako najnovija svjetska dešavanja,
tako i „povjerljive“ gradske priče.
Sa strane su išli oni mlađi, koji
bi se šetajući korzom i po prvi
put zaljubljivali. Svako je imao
svoje utvrđeno mjesto i niko
nije htio da propusti da napravi
par krugova, “vidi i bude viđen”.
Čak i kada je glavna ulica bila
All the stories about the life and
history of Berane begin and finish
in the main street. Its name has
changed as well, depending
on historical occurrences and
circumstances. Over the years
it has been called: Main District,
King Nikola Street, King Petar the
Liberator Street, King Aleksandar
the Unifier Street, Via Viktora
Emanuela, Main Street, Marshal
Tito Street, and from 1994 to
the present day it has been
called Mojsija Zečevića Street.
Rather unusually for Ottoman
urban planning, the main street
is straight and wide. Modelled on
European metropolises, it was
designed by Rizvan-Bey, a famous
architect educated in Paris. In
this way, Berane obtained the
most spacious and widest street
amongst the Ottoman urban
settlements of that time in this
part of the Balkans.
The main street was and has
remained to this day the centre
of all events. Every afternoon, it
would turn into the most beautiful
and largest town pedestrian
area – the famous promenade of
Berane. Older and more reserved
people from Berane would
slowly stroll along the central line
of the promenade, discussing
both the latest world events
and “confidential” town stories.
Younger people walked along the

first time girls started to act in the

The famous hotels of Berane in
which many entertainment and
cultural evenings were held also
had an important role in the town’s
cultural life. Just before World War
II, Berane had more hotels than it
has today. In the very centre there
were four hotels and two inns.
First the Danilović Hotel was built,
on the location of the presentday building of the Basic Court of
Berane, and there, it is said, the
best music was always played.
Just opposite it, the Imperijal
Hotel, which during World War II
was turned into the officers’ mess
of the Italian army, was built. At
that time, it is said, in Berane there
were more Italian solders than
local people. The first tombola
in the town was organised in the
Amerika Hotel, built right on the
main street. However, the Evropa
Hotel, which was situated just
beside the Amerika Hotel, enjoyed
the best reputation. Traditionally,
its cuisine was the best, and all
of the well-known
people
from
Berane had their
own table there.
The owners of the
Evropa Hotel used
to give a bottle of
home-made rakija
(brandy),
which
they themselves
made, to every
guest who stayed the night there.
At the bottom of the main street
there were also two inns, in which
travellers could stay the night
and rest their horses. In the inns,
apart from coffee and tea, salep,
a widely known Middle-Eastern
aphrodisiac could also be drunk.
While you are walking along this
famous promenade, stop off
and try some of the well-known
specialities of Berane such as
sweet kačamak, grilled trout, or
burek in the famous grill houses
of Berane.

had passed away prematurely.
At the end of the 19th century the
headquarters of the state post
was situated here. In one period
religious services were held and
the work of the lower religious
school for children was organised
within the waqf house.
Among the locals, the waqf house
was also known as “the house
beside the drinking fountains”.
The drinking fountains, which were
the foundation of the town water
supply system, were an integral
part of the house. The “house
beside the drinking fountains”
was designed by Turkish architect
Rizvan-Bey, just after he had
graduated in architecture from
Sorbonne University. Water was
transferred through beech pipes
from the monastery’s spring at
Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery. It
was two kilometres long, and
it was in function right up until
the nineteen-eighties. Above the
drinking fountains there was a tarih
(date plaque), a lyrical form which

From those “drinking fountains”
water was transferred to the
fountain which was located in

mosque was situated in the very
centre of the town, at the end of
the main street. Built of bondruk

In the Beyluk – the marketplace
– people used to buy and sell
different types of cereals, dairy and
other produce. In the surrounding
shops various manufactured
goods, such as sacks and other
woollen products, harnesses and
items for carts and horses as well
as shoemaker’s products were
sold. The once well-known bakery
of the Lazarević family, famous
for hot ćahije (a type of bread
with black cumin served during
Ramadan) and somun (a type of
flat bread), where local women
could bake the bread which they
had prepared, was situated there
as well. In the beyluk fruit and
vegetables from the surrounding
villages were sold, too. Green
tomatoes were highly valued,
whereas red tomatoes were not
offered at all, since they were
thought to be rotten. Business
deals were made in the inns of

Na Begluku – pijaci građani
su prodavali i kupovali razne

U

različiti manufakturni proizvodi:
džakovi i drugi vuneni proizvodi,
amovi i proizvodi za zaprežna
kola i konje kao i opančarski
proizvodi. Tu se nalazila i
nekad čuvena pekara porodice
Lazarević poznata po vrućim
ćahijama (vrsta ramazanskog
hljeba sa sjemenom ćurekota) i
somunima, u kojoj su domaćice
mogle da ispeku hljeb koji su
same spremale. Na begluku se
prodavalo i voće i povrće iz okolnih
sela. Na cijeni je bio zeleni paradajz
dok se crveni nije ni nudio jer se
smatrao pokvarenim. Poslovi su
ugovarani u hanovima Softića
i Ramusovića. Uz kafu se nudio
napitak šerbe i šurup. Iz ovog
perioda ostao je zapisan način
pripremanja napitka šurup koji se
spravljao od latica majske ruže ili
stambolke, koje se i danas mogu
naći u beranskim baštama. Skupe
se latice od 40 ruža, operu i naliju
hladnom, prokuvanom vodom i
dodaju im se 3 kesice limuntusa.
Tako stoje 5-6 dana, dok tečnost
potpuno ne poprimi boju ruža, a
latice ne poblijede. Onda se sok
procijedi, pa se na jedan litar soka
doda kilogram šećera i ostavi da
odstoji još barem 24 sata. Pije
se razblažen sa vodom i dobro
rashlađen. Od iste vrste ruže pravi
se i slatko, a kažu da Beranke
svoju ljepotu duguju upravo ovoj
mirišljavoj majskoj ruži.

begluk su zvali i Gornjoseljski

the Softić and the Ramusović
families. Apart from coffee, drinks
known as šerbe and šurup were
offered. From this period a written
recipe was preserved with the
manner of preparation of the drink
called Šurup, made of the petals
of the May rose or stambolka,
which even today can be found
in the gardens of Berane. Collect
the petals of 40 roses, wash and
pour with cold, boiled water and
add to them 3 bags of limuntus (a
food additive). Let them sit for 5-6
days like that until the liquid fully
absorbs the colour of the roses,
and the petals fade. Then strain
the juice and add one kilogramme
of sugar to one litre of juice and let it
sit for at least 24 hours. It is served
diluted with water and cooled. A
rose petal preserve is made as
well from the same type of rose,
and it is said that the women of
Berane owe their beauty precisely
to this fragrant May rose.
In the time of the old Yugoslavia the
beyluk was also called Gornoseljski begluk since people from
Lubnice and Gornja Sela used
to sell various products made
of wood such as wooden vats,
wooden pails, special wooden
clubs for making kačamak
(cornmeal mash) and other types
of wooden dishes there.

in whose details the interweaving
of the cultural influences of the
various ethnic groups of the
Polimlje Region is best seen, are
especially interesting. A large
number of cold weapons and
firearms, from yatagans (a type
of Ottoman knife) and sabres to
flintlocks and cartridge-based
firearms represent a special group
within this collection.

Kuća vojvode
Gavra Vukovića
„..bio je niskog, srednjeg rasta,
već star i islabio, tih i mio čovjek,
kojemu nije bilo, što se kaže,
zazorno ni sa djetetom da
progovori. Uprkos tom povučenom
držanju bilo je kod njega utoliko više
nečeg dostojanstvenog i na dlaku
odmjerenog. Držao je do svakog
pokreta i svake riječi. Vidjelo se na
njemu da je iz glavarskih kuća.“
Ovako je vojvodu Gavra Vukovića
vidio Milovan Đilas u svom djelu
„Besudna zemlja“ opisujući period
kada je on pohađao čuvenu
beransku gimnaziju, a vojvoda
Gavro Vuković provodio svoje
poslednje dane pišući memoare
u Beranama.
Vojvoda
Gavro
Vuković,
dugogodišnji ministar inostranih
poslova Knjaževine Crne Gore
jedna je od najznačajnijih ličnosti
novovjekovne crnogorske istorije.
Rođen je 1852. godine u selu
Lopate u Lijevoj Rijeci, u poznatoj
vojvodskoj porodici crnogorskog
glavara, junaka i senatora Miljana
Vukova Vešovića. Školovanje je
započeo u manastiru Đurđevi
Stupovi, a nastavio na Cetinju, u
Nici i Beogradu gdje je diplomirao
pravo na Velikoj školi i tako
postao prvi diplomirani pravnik iz
“..he was short and of medium
build, already old and weakened,
a quiet and nice man, who, as
the saying goes, did not have a
problem speaking even to a child.
Despite that modest attitude or
maybe precisely for that reason
there was something dignified
and quite steady in him. He was
conscious of his every movement
and word. It was visible in him that
he was from a noble house.” This
was the way that Milovan Đilas
depicted Duke Gavro Vuković in
his book “Land Without Justice”
describing the period when
he was attending the famous
Berane Gymnasium, and Duke
Gavro Vuković was seeing out his
last days writing his memoirs in
Berane.
Duke Gavro Vuković, a long-time
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
Principality of Montenegro is one
of
the
most
significant
personalities of the new era of
Montenegrin history. He was born
in 1852 in the village of Lopate
in Lijeva Rijeka, in the prominent
noble family of the Montenegrin
official, hero and senator Miljan
Vukov Vešović. He started his
education in the Đurđevi Stupovi
Monastery, and continued it in
Cetinje, Nice and Belgrade where
he graduated in law from the
Great School and thus became

Vojvoda Gavro Vuković bavio
se diplomatskim poslovima u
jednom od najkomplikovanijih
momenata crnogorske istorije.
Posle višedecenijskog vojevanja
i borbi za oslobođenje, sve
probleme sada je trebalo rješavati
diplomatskim putem. Razgraničiti
se sa Turskom, održati dobre
odnose sa Rusijom, popraviti
odnose sa Srbijom i uklanjati sve
izvore konfrontacija sa novim
susjedom
Austrougarskom.
Najteže je bilo u pregovorima
sa Osmanskim carstvom kada
the first Bachelor of Law from
Montenegro. Upon his return to
the country, he occupied high
positions and was assigned to
significant state affairs. He held
the position of Minister of Foreign
Affairs for sixteen years (18891905). He was President of the
State Council from 1906 to 1908,
and he was elected a Member
of Parliament twice, in 1906 and
1914. For his merits in 1892 he
was awarded the title of duke,
which his father also held.
Duke Gavro Vuković was engaged
in diplomatic affairs at one of the
most complicated moments in
Montenegrin history. After several
decades of warfare and fighting
for liberation, all problems then
were to be resolved in a diplomatic
manner. Agreeing borders with
Turkey, maintaining good relations
with Russia, improving relations
with Serbia and removing all
sources of confrontation with their
new neighbour, Austria-Hungary.
The most difficult part was in the

Gore sa kraja 19. i početka 20.

dokumentima iz lične arhive.
Vojvoda Gavro Vuković umro je

a sahranjen je kod Manastira

You are standing in front of the
Monument to Liberty, one of
the most unusual monuments in
Montenegro. It was built in the
place where on 17 July 1941
German occupiers executed
Berane’s patriots. An imposing
cone resembling the nose of
a bullet, 18 metres high, is the
symbol of the struggle for liberation
which was fought in this region
during the Balkan Wars, and the
First and Second World Wars. The
creator of the monument is the
well-known architect and former
mayor of Belgrade, Bogdan
Bogdanović, famous for his daring
ideas and memorial architecture.
He is the creator of numerous
memorials built in memory of the
victims of fascism over the whole
former Yugoslavia, among which
the best known is the Stone Flower
in Jasenovac.

Hareme, prvo urbanizovano i
projektovano naselje na ovom
području, koje je ime dobilo baš
po tome što su tu živjele žene
turskih oficira (harem – kuća
za žene). U Haremima su u
početku živjeli samo oficiri turske
vojske i njihove porodice, kao i
viđenije muslimanske porodice

of Jasikovac. That was how
Hareme, the first urbanised and
designed settlement in this region,
was created, and it was named
after the fact that the wives of
Turkish officers were living there
(harem – house for women).
To begin with, only officers of
the Turkish army, their families
and prominent Muslim families
descended from chieftains (beys)
were living in Hareme. There
was also the blockhouse of the
famous Rizvan-bey, an architect
educated in Paris, who designed
the most significant buildings in
Berane: the military fortification
at Jasikovac, Hareme, the town’s
main street, the army barracks, the
mosque, a water fountain and the
town’s drinking fountain. For the

Also, one of Berane’s oldest
legends is related to Rizvan-bey
and his wife Alba. As an architect,
Rizvan-bey often travelled and
was absent from his home for a
long time. Spending time all alone,
his young wife Alba fell in love with
a servant. When they could not
keep their love secret any longer
they started living together. This
news soon reached Rizvan-bey,
who came back to Hareme and
killed the servant immediately.
Not wanting to wait for him in the
house, Alba went to the River Lim
where she threw herself from a
high rock into the deep whirlpool.
That place, at which the Berane
Hotel was built later on, even today
is called Alba’s Whirlpool, after the
unfortunate Alba. And Rizvan-bey
never again came back to Berane.
The Jasikovac fortification, with
its closed-type trenches, was also
the battlefield for the last battle for
the liberation of the town from the
Turks in 1912. On that occasion a
small Turkish flag was captured,
which still today is kept in the
Museum of the Polimlje area.
Being only a kilometre away
from the town centre, the park at
Jasikovac has become a favourite
picnic spot for the people of
Berane, and the place offers the
best view of the whole town.

Манастир пред којим стојите за
својих 800 година постојања 5
пута је паљен, 5 пута рушен и 5
пута обнављан. У народу га зато
зову и манастир мученик. Ипак
манастир Ђурђеви Ступови
успио је да надживи сваку
невољу. Подигнут је далеке
2013. године, као задужбина
жупана Стефана Првослава,
господара Будимља, сина
великог жупана Тихомира и
синовца Стефана Немање.
О томе свједочи и натпис на
десној страни наоса изнад
ктиторовог гроба. Колика је
била важност овог манастирa
и читавог Будимља у доба
Немањића, говори и чињеница
да је Свети Сава 1219. године
у
Ђурђевим
Ступовима
успоставио
будимљанску
епископију, четврту по реду
од осам првобитних епархија
и на овом мјесту устоличио
првог будимљанског епископа
Јакова.
The monastery you are standing
in front of has been set on fire
five times, destroyed five times
and rebuilt five times in its eighthundred year-long existence. For
this reason, among the locals, it
is called the Martyr Monastery.
However,
Đurđevi
Stupovi
Monastery managed to outlive all
its misfortunes. It was built back
in 1213 as a memorial monastery
of Prince Stefan Prvoslav, Lord of
Budimlje, the son of Grand Prince
Tihomir and the nephew of Stefan
Nemanja. An inscription on the
right side of the cella above its
benefactor’s grave witnesses to
that fact, too. The importance of
this monastery and the whole of
Budimlje in the Nemanjić era is also
testified to by the fact that in 1219
in Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery St
Sava established the Episcopacy
of Budimlje, the fourth in order out
of the eight original dioceses, and
also consecrated the first bishop
of Budimlje, Jakov.

it was frequently attacked by the
Ottoman authorities, and at one
time the Episcopacy of Budimlje

From the 18th to 20th century the
Ottoman conquerors plundered
and set the monastery on fire
several times: in 1738, 1825,
1862 and 1875. When in 1898
they wanted to set the monastery
on fire again the people rose to its
defence. Twenty-seven people,
popular leaders, who decided
that they would either defend the
monastery or burn to death in it,
shut themselves in the monastery.
On that occasion the monastery
was successfully defended,
but still it was set fire to for the
fifth time, in 1912, immediately

into the 12th century. Not much
remains from the original frescoes
created in the 14th century during
the rule of Czar Dušan.
As if it was not destroyed enough
from unceasing firing of Ottoman
cannons from Jasikovac Hill,
during World War I, the AustrianHungarian Army converted the
monastery first into a stable
for horses, and afterwards
into a kitchen and dormitory
respectively. In what remains of the
frescoes, one can recognise the
hand of the talented masters from
Dečani Monastery, originating
from the Kotor school of painting.
A large cross, a masterpiece of
silversmithing skills of the 19th
century and a large Gospel with
silver covers, which are kept in
the monastery, are of exceptional
value.
Prior Mojsije Zečević who was

of

Monastery in the first half of the
19th century was buried beside
the monastery itself. Being the
secular and spiritual leader of
the Vasojevići clan, he did a
lot towards the liberation and
unification of Montenegrin clans.
In Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery,
Prior Mojsije Zečević founded the
first monastic school for monks
in 1824, and afterwards in 1836
the first secular school as well.
The restoration of “The Vasojevići
Clan Law of Twelve Articles” is
connected with him as well.

monastery was a retreat and
a shelter for the clergy of the
Metropolitanate
of
Budimlje
from frequent invasions by the
Ottoman conquerers during the
16th and 17th century, and the
only active place in which the
work on educating the clergy was

In 1738 the Ottomans destroyed
and set the monastery on fire as

people from the Polimlje region
in the wars on the side of the
Austrians. Two centuries later, in
1923, the head teacher of the
Gymnasium in Berane, along

continued in 2002, when an expert
team from the Museum of the
Polimlje Region discovered the
remains of the Church of the Entry
of the Theotokos and a dormitory
which are located to the north
and to the west of the church.
On the basis of the discovered
archaeological material it is
thought that the church was
built in the 14th century. The
reconstruction of the monastery
started in 2005.
Šudikova Monastery is also
famous for a spring which
periodically appears in the
vicinity of the monastery. This
spring, called the Sacred Spring,
appears even several times within
a day and then again disappears
underground. It is thought that this
healing water particularly helped
the blind, barren women, lepers
and the insane, and according to a
legend the blinded King Stefan of
Dečani himself was healed there.

Soon after the foundation of the
episcopacy in Đurđevi Stupovi
Monastery in the 13th century, the
main parish churches in various
regions were built. Here, on the
right bank of the River Kaludra,
right under the slopes of Mt. Divljak,
in the 14th century a monastery
with a church dedicated to St Luke
the Apostle was built. The church
was most probably fresco-painted
by the famous Priest Strahinja
from Budimlje, one of the most
significant fresco painters of that
time.
For more than three centuries
only ruins existed at this
location. Legend has it that only
a shepherdess named Labuda
from the village of Kaludra knew
that a monastery had once been
situated there. In the middle of
the last century, every day, she
dug out the foundations of the

towards the southwest, this cave
is 4 metres high, 17 metres deep,
and no more than 6 metres wide.
One can still see the traces of
earlier habitation, such as seats
cut into the rock and a cross in
the front side of the rock. Cave
churches and dwelling places
were an important part of medieval
spiritual life. Built in inaccessible
surroundings,
they
enabled
anchorites to withdraw from the

God. These were inhabited only
by the greatest ascetics, who
in their cells practised prayer
and contemplation as well as
producing various handicrafts and
copying books.

Ne zna se sa sigurnošću kada je
nastala. Narodno predanje kaže
da je to bilo krajem 16. vijeka,
kada su sa opadanjem
značaja grada Bihora,
počele da se grade
džamije i van njegovih

of the largest mosques in the
Balkans, characterised by its
unique architecture with wooden,
hand-carved pillars. With a
floor area of about 550m2 it can
accommodate up to as many
as 1,200 believers. The mosque
in Petnjica is also the only threestorey mosque in Montenegro. It is
several centuries old and as such
its appearance has also changed
over time.
It is not known for certain when it
was built. Legend says it
was at the end of the 16th
century, when with the
decrease in importance
of the town of Bihor,
mosques started to be
built outside its walls
as well. Major roads led
along the River Popča
and
correspondingly
mosques were built
along its course as well.
Historians connect its
construction with the
arrival of Haidar-pasha
Selim, in 1689, when
several Oriental-style
structures were built in Bihor and
the River Lim valley.

Its original appearance differed
significantly from the current
one. The size of the building was
smaller; the first floor was made of
stone, whereas the second floor
was made of wood. The minaret
was wooden, while the mosque
was covered with wooden
boards. Among the locals
there is a legend that the
stone for its construction
was brought from a mosque
which was located within the
medieval fortification of Bihor, at
the top of the steep hill of Gradina,
above the village of Bioče.

At the end of the 17th and the
beginning of the 18th century
the number of inhabitants of the
region of Petnjica was growing,
and Petnjica developed into an
important regional centre. The
mosque became too small and
therefore in 1901 its enlargement
was initiated, which is witnessed
to by the date written in Arabic
script on the plate kept in the
mosque.

mosque and its furnishing, as well
as money and food for the artisans

of this region through voluntary

It is believed that this mosque has
never been destroyed because its
foundations are guarded by
meleks, i.e. angels as well as
by the presents from the people
of Bihor people given for the
advancement of their families and
the whole region.

U samom centru Bihora, na
brdu Gradina, iznad ušća rijeke
Lješnice u Lim, nalaze se ostaci
srednjevjekovnog grada Bihora.
Podignut na 1000m nadmorske
visine, dominirao je velikim dijelom
Limske doline, i kontrolisao
značajne saobraćajnice koje su
spajale Budim i Bihor sa Plavom
na jednoj i Sjenicom i Novim
Pazarom na drugoj strani. O
prošlosti
ovog
tajanstvenog
grada ne zna se mnogo. Turci
su ga zauzeli 1455. godine, a
iz detaljnog popisa prizrenskog
sandžaka nastalog u periodu
1521. - 1530., saznajemo da je u
to vrijeme grad – tvrđava Bihor
Old people from Bihor say that
Petnjica was named after five
small ploughed fields which, when
viewed from the surrounding
mountains, were clearly visible
in the valley. The valley was first
called “Pet njivica” (five small
ploughed fields), which was later
transformed into Petnjica. Here,
at an elevation of 700 metres
above sea level, in the valley of the
River Popča and just beside the
Radman Gorge, is located the little
town of Petnjica, the centre of the
Gornji Bihor area, which, it is said,
was named after behar (blossom)
covering it in early spring. The
whole area is widely known for its
cold spring water and juicy apples
about which many songs and
poems were written. Senabije,
đulabije, šarenike, pašinke and
babovače are only some of the
types of apples which grow best
right here, and these are also used
for making the even better-known
pies.
The remains of the medieval
town of Bihor are situated at the
very centre of Bihor, on Gradina
Hill, above the confluence of the
River Lješnica and the River Lim.
Erected at an elevation of 1000m
above sea level it dominated a
large area of the River Lim valley,
and controlled important roads
which connected Budim and
Bihor with Plav on one side, and
with Sjenica and Novi Pazar on the

Pričaju stari Bihorci da je Petnjica
dobila ime po pet njivica koje su
se, gledajući sa okolnih planina,
jasno uočavale u dolini. Dolinu
su prvo nazvali “Pet njivica” što
se kasnije pretvorilo u Petnjicu.
Ovdje, na 700 metara nadmorske
visine, u dolini rijeke Popče, tik
uz Radmansku klisuru, nalazi se
varoš Petnjica, centar Gornjeg
Bihora, koji je, kažu, dobio ime
po beharu koji ga prekrije u rano

su mnoge pjesme ispjevane.

other. Not much is known about
the past of this mysterious town.
The Ottoman Turks occupied it
in 1455, and from the detailed
register of the Prizren Sandžak
made in the period from 1521
to 1530, we know that at that
time town-fortress of Bihor had a
garrison comprised of a fortress
commander, a deputy commander
and a manager of the estate, a
cannon operator, an imam and 21
mustahfizs (guardians). The town
of Bihor became the centre of the
nahiye (the smallest administrative
unit in the Ottoman Empire) and
kadilik (court unit, county) of the
same name; thus in the mid-16th
centu-ry its garrison had 226

of the former ramparts reaching
up to as much as three metres in
height can be identified. Besides
the Bihor fortress there was a
podgrađe (suburbium) as well,
and today that is also the name of
a small village, the houses of which
are located under the fortification.
The remains of the cemetery in
Podgrađe are visible, and the
toponym of Crkvina (church land)
has been preserved as well, which
all suggest a long pre-Ottoman
tradition in this area.
In the vicinity of Petnjica one of the
most significant archaeological
sites in Montenegro – the locality
of Torine, in the Radmanska
Gorge, with its famous walledup cave is located as well. Torine
is the most valuable and the
richest site from the Early Bronze
Age – the Eneolithic. A unique
female figurine 5,000 years old
was found there. The figurine
represents a nude woman with
a realistically represented torso

and characteristic pentagonal
head, without carved motifs or
ornaments. At a depth of only half
a metre, in this locality a house
from the Bronze Age was also
discovered, in which around the
fireplace a large number of fully
intact ceramic dishes, bone tools,
pickaxes made of deer’s antlers,
needles, bradawls and studs
were found. Everything indicates
that it was a summer seasonal
settlement, a precursor of today’s
shepherds’ katuns. In this locality a
well-known wolf’s teeth necklace,
copper needles and ceramics
were found, too. The discovered
objects are kept in the Museum
of the Polimlje Region in Berane.
Many legends have been told
about Brativir, a barely accessible
waterfall of extraordinary beauty,
which is located near Petnjica. It is
said that in this place once upon
a time there was a cave in which
an immense treasure was hidden.
The treasure was cursed, so that
every trace of those who would try
to retrieve it disappeared making
their way towards the cave. It is
said as well that two families of
highlanders were in a quarrel, and
every encounter between them
used to end in severe wounding,
and sometimes even in murder.
No one could reconcile them, until
one day two brothers rescued a
young man from the other family
from was drowning in the whirlpool
of the swollen waterfall. When the
young man recounted what had
happened to him and who had
rescued him, his grandfather and
his father sent people to seek
peace and blood brotherhood
with their former enemies. Since
then many people have found
peace here and therefore it
became known as Brativir (brat =
brother; vir = whirlpool).
