Presentation of Nikšić

The municipality of Nikšić (75,282 inhabitants on 2003; 58,212 inhabitants in the town of Nikšić proper) is located in the densely populated fertile plain called Župa.

The old town Onogost was founded in the 4th century as a Roman military fortification, on the crossroads of important roads linking the neighboring territories. The settlement was situated on the rocky hill in the plain between Studenacke glavice and Trebjesa, and was preserved through the three great periods of the human civilization. It survived as the Roman fortress, then as an object in the system of defense in the medieval period, as the center of Župa in the period of flourishing of the Serbian Empire and, finally, as a Turkish fortification. The Gothic Anagastum and the medieval Onogost was an active fortress from its foundation to the departure of its last conquerors.
The liberation from the Turks in 1877 boosted the desire for a new town, besides the "old and rotten" Turkish provincial town. This wish was fulfilled with the release of the first regulation plan in 1883, which prescribed the formation of the solid urban structure, by the application of the Renaissance and Baroque scheme of the ideal towns. Engineer Josip Slade drafted the plan, at the demand of King Nikola.
After the two World Wars, Nikšić has grown ten times bigger and it has become one of the industrial centers of Montenegro, as well as an important center of cultural and artistic creativity and the seat of numerous educational institutions.
