culture
Owing to its specific climate and history, Montenegro has been the home of many artists, who have become world famous. Numerous galleries, theatres, festivals and other cultural events show that the Montenegrin people pay a lot of attention to culture.
The diversity of the periods that came one after the other in the region have left their traces fehind in many localities in Montenegro. From the Paleolithic, through the Bronze age, all the way to the Renaissance and Baroque, Montenegro has been enriched with the cultural heritage.
The Monasteries that are dispersed throughout Montenegro, from the Byzantine period until the modern times, revel the spiritual wealth. Each one of them has its own unique way to enchant the visitors.
The printed word in Montenegro goes way back in history. Thirty-eight years after the Gutenberg's Bible, in 1493, the first printing shop in the Balkans started its operation. One year later the first book was printed. All this was a precondition for the future development of literature in Montenegro
The painters gave a great contribution to the success of the Montenegrin culture in the world.
Milo Milunovic, Petar Lubarda and Dado Djuric are just a few in the group of artists who presented Montenegro internationally in the best possible way.
The majority of traces and monuments originated from Slavic culture and the Church treasors belong to Orthodox - Byzantine cultures.
On the coast, in the territory which was under the Republic of Venice, Gotthic and Renaissance culture prevailed for a long time and Baroque style dominated both in sculpture and painting.
