Cetinje was founded in 1482, when Ivan Crnojević moved his capital from Obod above the
Crnojević River to deeper into the hills to a more easily defended location in a field at the foot of Mount Lovćen. He had his court built at the new location
that year and also founded a monastery (dedicated to the Mother of Christ) as a personal endowment in 1484. His court and the monastery are the first
recorded renaissance buildings in Montenegro.[2] Crnojević was forced to move the seat of the Eparchy of Zeta from Vranjina to Cetinje due to the Ottoman
invasions, in 1485.[3] The town was named after the Cetina river.

The bishopric of Zeta was elevated to a metropolitanate in Cetinje.[3] It was later to play an important part in both the religious and national life.[3] The
Crnojević printing house, the first printing house in southeastern Europe, was active between 1493 and 1496 in Cetinje.[4] Zeta was first put under Ottoman
ganized into the Sanjak of Montenegro.[5]
rule in 1499, then annexed by the Ottomans in 1514, or

Early modern period

In the next two centuries, the development of Cetinje stagnated. It was very often subject to attack by Venice and the Ottomans. The city therefore endured
many privations in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. In this period the court and the monastery of the Crnojevići dynasty were destroyed. It was only
at the end of the 17th century, in 1697, that Cetinje began to flourish again under the rule of thePetrović dynasty, refounded by Danilo Petrović.

Modern period
Leading the wars of liberation and strengthening the unity
in the country occupied Danilo and his successors, so they
were unable to devote enough effort to the further
development of Cetinje. It was only during the rule of Petar
II Petrović Njegoš that far greater progress was made. In
1838 his new royal residence called Biljarda (Billiard
house) was built. Cetinje was enlarged by building new
houses that gradually led to genuine urbanization.

Grahovo Arrival of the Post Cetinje
Many modern buildings designed for foreign consulates
were built due to the newly established relations with
various European countries. The buildings of the French, Russian, British, Italian and Austro-Hungarian
consulates are regarded as the most beautiful of these.

Cetinje made great progress under the rule of Prince Nikola I Petrović when numerous public edifices were
built. Those include the first hotel, called ‘Lokanda’, then the new Prince’
s palace, the Girls’ Institute and the
hospital. This period also saw the first tenancy houses. In the 1860 census Cetinje had 34 households. After
initially holding off Ottoman incursions in 1852 and 1853, Cetinje was captured by Ottoman Omar Pasha's
forces during the Montenegrin–Ottoman War of 1861–62. Ottoman rule over Montenegro did not last much
more than a decade however, as 14 years later the "Great War", the third successive contest between the two
Cetinje nations, ended in Montenegrin victory, with most previously-Montenegrinterritory returning to their control.

Montenegrin independence was recognized at the Congress

of Berlin of 1878 and consequently Cetinje became the capital of a European country. Between 1878 and
1914 Cetinje flourished in every sense. Many renowned intellectuals from other South-Slavic parts came to
stay there and made a contribution to the cultural, educational and every other aspect of life. Montenegro
was proclaimed a kingdom in 1910. This had a great effect on Cetinje's development. At this time the
Government House, the symbol of state power, was built. The population census from the same year
recorded a massive growth in the world's smallest capital, registering 5,895 inhabitants.
Cetinje Monastery
In the Interwar period, Cetinje expanded its territory, as it was now a centre of the Zeta region. But when it was decided by the Parliament of Montenegro that
the administrative organs should be located in Titograd (previously and presently Podgorica), Cetinje went through a harsh crisis. By building certain
industrial sections and at the same time neglecting the development of the city's traditional and potential cultural and tourist capacities, the chance to create a
strong basis for more solid prosperity was lost.

Geography
Cetinje is situated in the karst field (Cetinje field) of about 7km², with average height above sea level of 671m. It is 12 km (7 mi) of airline far from Adriatic
Sea and 15 km (9 mi) from Skadar Lake. Now, it is on the main road Podgorica-Cetinje-Budva, which makes it open to the inside of Montenegro and
Montenegrin coast.

Climate
Cetinje has an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification: Cfb), with relatively dry and warm summers, and mild and wet winters.

Cetinje is well known for its plentiful precipitations, and is one of the rainiest towns in Europe with around 3,300 mm (130 in) of precipitation annually.
Although abundant in precipitation, the Cetinje field and its surroundings do not have water flows on the surface and water sources are scarce. This is a
consequence of the karst configuration and its geologic structure.

The onset and development of Cetinje, as a relatively young city, with its old historical core draws a lot of attention to urban and architectural heritage, on its
construction and development influenced stormy historical, social and economic events in the country
.

Cetinje, as a settlement has existed for 500 years, which is not much compared to the development of the coastal agglomeration of the ancient period in the
immediate surrounding. However, these five centuries – the whole history of a people, who, through the development of city recorded moments of their
origin, ascent, stagnation and downs.
For Cetinje as urban agglomeration, can be said to have formed suddenly, which makes it very specific. In
fact, since the seventies of the nineteenth century, for almost fifty years, there was, in the urban context,
designed and typological characteristic areas formed with urban type residential home ground floor and
storey house with developed attic, created and developed in closed urban blocks, where line of life in them
was street - house - garden.

blocks and residential buildings, has developed substantial
public architecture of the city, which was built under the
great influence of foreign builders with the application of Biljarda - Museum of Petar II
various architectural styles and which then and now, is a Petrović-Njegoš
representative architectural backbone of the city

Between the two world wars, which characterized by the loss of Montenegrin statehood and noticeable
stagnation of the architectural development of the city, Cetinje continues the tradition of formed, then
already traditional type of urban residential houses and closed urban blocks, but they build the first modern
multi-storey residential buildings for collective housing, and modern public institutions necessary for the
then social life.

In the fastest and most important period of the development of Cetinje, since the seventies of the nineteenth century until the First World War, which was then
the smallest European old capital, was created and developed city on the principles the European metropolises of that time in whose architectural activity of
the city was engaged many foreign architects, engineers, builders and craftsmen.

young city, it occupies an important place in terms of conceptual, social and urban transformation of other President of Montenegro resides.
