As an organization concerned with space and promoting its values, we wish to bring to public attention these issues which, in our opinion, might pose a serious threat to Kotor and the Bay of Boka Kotorska as an exceptionally valuable space within Montenegro.

We welcome you to the presentation of Jelena Pejković’s Master’s Thesis, completed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in December 2005. The topic of her work is „Awakening Perast: Interconnecting Past and Present Architecture in a Historic Town” and her thesis states that starting a Conservation school and dispersing it through Perast’s ruins would contribute not only to the awakening and the development of this town but also to the affirmation of contemporary architecture in the town’s historic texture. The lecture will be held at the Museum of Perast, on August 10, 2006 at 20:00. Jelena Pejković graduated from Harvard University in 2003 cum laude with a special concentration in Architecture and Urban Design.

zvecanZvečan je vijekovima bio brana raznoraznim osvajačima. Po narodnom predanju, grad je često i rado pohodio Kraljević Marko, pa ga mnogi i danas nazivaju "Markovim gradom". Na lijevoj obali Ibra, tamo gdje u svoje korito prihvata rijeku Sitnicu, visoko na brdu iznad Kosovske Mitrovice, nalazi se Zvečan, jedan od najstarijih i najznamenitijih srpskih srednjovjekovnih gradova.

 

bog mitraHram Boga Mitre u Jajcu smatra se jednim od najznačajnijih spomenika antičog doba u BiH. Prestonica bosanskih kraljeva očuvala je mnoge tragove svoje duge i burne prošlosti. Gradovi i gradska naselja, slično ljudima i svemu drugom u prirodi, imaju obilježja i znamenja po kojima ih razlikujemo i prepoznajemo. Jajce je jedan od onih malobrojnih gradova koji su od samog postanka u čvrstom zagrljaju prirode; obdareni znamenjima i neprolaznom ljepotom; ukrašen koloritom jedne od najljepših rijeka i vodopadom kakav je mogla da stvori samo Pliva, čarobna rijeka podno Janja i Vitoroga.

 

StobiU dolini Vardara, nedaleko od Velesa, nakon devet vijekova oživljen antički Stobi, nekadašnji glavni grad provincije „Makedonija Salutaris. Ko još nije čuo za antički Stobi? Za taj stari helenski grad nedaleko od Velesa, kraj varošice Gradsko, na samom ušću Crne reke u Vardar. Vjerujemo da je malo onih koji su putovali glavnom makedonskom magistralom ka Đevđeliji, Solunu i sjevernim grčkim obalama a da makar na kratko, u predahu, nisu posjetili Stobi. Jedno od najvećih, svakako i najznačajnijih arheoloških nalazišta u Makedoniji.

 

trnosaSve najlepše i najradosnije iz mladalačkih dana Vuka Stefanovića Karadžića vezano je za ovu planinu na zapadu Srbije
Sve što je imalo nekog bitnijeg odraza na život znamenitih ljudi, kakvi su Tesla, Pupin, Andrić, Nušić, Milanković i drugi velikani srpske nauke i kulture, s vremenom i samo postaje glasovito i znamenito. Takav je slučaj i sa užim zavičajem Vuka Stefanovića Karadžića.

antigoneaU Tiranu sam stigla avionom, primicala se ponoć. Švedska nevladina organizacija „Baština bez granica“ organizovala je susret onih koji se bave nasleđem iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Crne Gore, Srbije i Vojvodine, i Albanije. Ispred hotela „Kalifornija“ u centru grada, palme i gusto rastinje na maloj površini, pored zgrada u kolonijalnom stilu. Tirana je deo sveta sa aromom Mediterana, a bez mora. U hotelskoj sobi, kao svakoj drugoj na bilo kom delu Planete (kao da pre toga nije postojala poluvekovna zabranjena albanska tertorija gde stranci nisu bili dobrodošli), u kupatilu gosta čeka par papuča, ne za poneti, već da se koriste na licu mesta. I to je jedino iznenađenje ove noći, na novoj teritoriji.

 

Crkva Sveti Nikola 228 septembra 2003. godine, postavljena je na hrid podno Krimovice u Grblju crkvica Svetog Nikole, uz pomoć vojne ploveće dizalice. Crkvica je obnovljena na kopnu i prevezena kamionom i morskim putem do hridi. Septembra 2003. godine, obnovljena je malena crkva posvećana zaštitniku pomoraca i putnika Svetom Nikoli, koju je, po predanju, izgradio Grk pomorac na morskoj hridi u blizini sela Krimovice u Grblju u Boki Kotorskoj.

zabljak 2Jedna od mnogobrojnih bajkovitih priča koje možete doživjeti krstareći regijom Skadarskog jezera dočekaće vas na kupastom, kamenom uzvišenju, okruženom vodotocima rijeka Karatune, Moračice, Šegrtnice i Sjerave. Tu se lociralo naselje Žabljak Crnojevića "priča" o čijem početku ne možete naći vjerodostojne podatke, ali sigurno možete povjerovati da je počela negdje u doba vizantijskog cara Konstantina Porfirogenita, zatim se "pisala" u doba popa Dukljanina kao Lug, centar župe Podlužje i ovjekovječila u narodnoj pjesmi stihom: "U Žabljaku, podluškome gradu". Prve istorijske podatke o Žabljaku nalazimo tek iz sredine XV vijeka, iz doba Crnojevića, koji su u njemu stolovali od 1403. godine i po kojima je i dobio ime.

 

Pruga uskog kolosijeka Podgorica - Donja Plavnica sagradjena je 1927. godine za potrebe povezivanja stanovništva južne Zete sa Podgoricom koja je u to vreme naglo razvijala svoj novi centar sjeverno od rječice Ribnice u ortogonalno regulisanoj Novoj Varoši, po principima evropskog urbanizma.

 

Ovo je nastavak price o kominskoj dijatreti, ili tačnije, dijatreta je dio ove priče. U pitanju je izložba TRAGOVI U RAMU, koju je pripremila Tanja Piperović, arheološkinja iz Podgorice, koja se bavi antičkim nakitom i predmetima pronađenim na arheološkim nalazištima u Crnoj Gori. Autor sjajnih fotografija je Lazar Pejović.

Komini1Predanje kaže da su majstori dijatreta* bili pod posebnom zaštitom rimskih careva i imali specijalni tretman, jer čovjek je za života mogao da napravi možda samo jednu.

Osim svoje primarne, praktične namjene ovi luksuzni pehari bili su i odraz pripadnosti određenom staležu, porodici, a vrlo je bitna i estetska kategorija jer se kroz njih reflektuju i ukus i moda jedne epohe, životni stil. Dijatreta kao kraljica večeri za trpezom moćnog gospodara ili samog cara, napravljena da bude izložena hiljadama očiju, da pokaže ljepotu, izazove uzdah, da svjedoci o raskoši...A, onda, možda, nakon mnogih pirova koje su prošli zajedno bude sahranjenja sa svojim vlasnikom...

 

botanicgardensVeliki gradski park u Tivtu utemeljen je daleke 1892. godine o čemu svjedoči natpis na tada postavljenom spomen obilježju sa kojega, prevedeno sa njemačkog, citamo: "Ovaj park je osnovao 1892.godine bivši mornaricki admiral Friherr Von Sterneck. Izgradnjom su rukovodili komandanti brodova Hnatek, Padevit, Ziegler, Denning, Heinrich i C.Lanjuz kao i poslovođa Nedwich".

manastir beskaPodručje Skadarskog jezera je jedno od najmanje poznatih oblasti u Crnoj Gori. Većina nas Crnu Goru prepoznaje po primorju ili Durmitoru i Žabljaku, ali Skadarsko jezero ništa manje ne zaostaje svojom ljepotom, posebnošću, bogatstvom kulturnog i istorijskog nasljeđa, raznovrsnošću prirodnog i životinjskog svijeta.

sv djordjeSamo se sluti, u tišini i melanholiji, što obavijaju jedno od dva školja pred Perastom, koliko tajni skriva ovo ostrvo kamenih zidova i vitkih čempresa. Ovaj komadić kopna između Veriga i Perasta, zbog svog položaja, bio je možda mjesto gdje se još od antičkog vremena grade utvrđenja. Po predanjima, koja su zabilježili stari hroničari i istoričari: Orbini, Balović i Zmajević, Iliri i Rimljani su ovdje podizali utvrde za odbranu Risna i povjerili ih Peraštanima na čuvanje.Očuvani odbrambeni zidovi sa puškarnicama su potvrda da je ostrvo u vrijeme venecijanske, francuske i austrijske vladavine Bokom korišćeno kao vojno utvrđenje.

 

Пераст1Peraški školji Sv. Đorđe i Gospa od Škrpjela su neodvojivo povezani sa istorijskim, pomorskim i kulturnim razvojem Perasta, sa kojim zajedno, čine najčarobniji dio Bokokotorskog zaliva. Mir školja Sv. Đorđa čuvaju visoki zidovi i vitki čempresi, ispod kojih su zauvijek usnuli u travi topovi koji su donosili nemir na ovo mjesto molitve i tišine.

 

karuc"Kula Sv. Petra na Karuču je najstariji objekat u naselju. Naime, selo se formiralo prije 200 godina, kada su stanovnici Rvaša tu podigli magacine, gdje su čuvali ribarsku opremu i vršili preradu ribe. Ovi objekti su, u početku, služili samo kao privremena staništa, u periodu intezivnog ribolova. Kasnije, sredinom prošlog vijeka, počelo je stalno naseljavanje Karuča. Do rata u selu je bilo oko 20 domaćinstava. Živjelo se bez struje i puteva, od malo stoke i nešto obradive zemlje u Dodošima, i naravno od ribolova. Poslije rata Karuč doživljava sudbinu mnogih crnogorskih sela. Počinje postepeno zamiranje i gašenje sela. Danas je aktivno samo nekoliko domaćinstava, iako je uvedena struja i probijen put.

 

Ime je dobio po obližnjem brdu Ostrogu. Često se naziva i Podmaine. Do ovog dvojnog toponima dolazi zbog blizine zapustjelog manastira Podmaine sa crkvom Sv. Petke. Okružen potocima i terasastim livadama iz njega se pruža impresivan pogled na Budvu i more.
