Duklja/ Doclea

Four kilometers north of Podgorica lies Duklja/Doclea or also referred to as "Old Town Montenegro" by the locals. It is located on a flat plateau between the rivers Moraca and Zeta. This ancient city was once the most important urban center of Roman rule in Montenegro. Today, it is the country's most important archeological site. If you can handle the crickets and thought of snakes crawling through the grass then this historical site is worth a visit. The ruins are in poor condition, and it is said that many of the stones used to create this ancient town have been taken to create fences and houses around the surrounding area. With a little imagination you can get the feeling for a city that was once present many years ago.
