Njegoš' Mausoleum in Lovćen National Park, Montenegro
Atop Mount Lovćen is a mausoleum housing the remains of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a 19th-century philosopher and poet whose epic poems had a lasting influence on the literature of both Montenegro and Serbia. Njegoš was granted the title of prince-bishop and ruled Montenegro for a time, hoping to unite Serbian people across the Balkans. He’s as venerated for his political and religious leadership as he is for his literature.
