Pljevlja is the largest city in northern Montenegro, located at the foot of the Biograd Mountain, at the confluence of the Tara and Cihotina rivers. As a historical and cultural city, its name is derived from the Old Slavonic word for "river-flooded meadow", reflecting its unique geographical features.
The city has the oldest mosque in Montenegro, the Hussein Pasha Mosque, built in 1477, and the Holy Trinity Monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the Middle Ages. Roman-era ruins and Ottoman-era architectural complexes bear witness to the multicultural intermingling of the Balkan Peninsula.
Surrounded by the forests of the Durmitor National Park and the Tara Gorge, Pljevlja has the largest coal resources in Montenegro, and industry is based on mining and energy production. It is also gradually developing into an outdoor tourism hub based on ecotourism programs such as rafting on the Tara River.
As an important node of the Belgrade-Bar railroad, the city connects the coastal and inland areas of Montenegro. Today, the old town of Pljevlja still retains its Ottoman-era appearance, while the new town has been modernized to create a unique cityscape where tradition and modernity coexist.
