Prcanj in Montenegro: sights and features of rest
The cold season is over, warm days are coming, the long-awaited vacation is approaching, and therefore, you need to think about the place of its holding. Sometimes you want to combine everything at once: a cultural program along with simple fun, in which case it would be wise to go to Prcanj, where you can admire the breathtaking sights that are guaranteed to leave their mark on your memory, soak up the beaches under the scorching sun and taste delicious local cuisine ...
We propose to briefly consider all the important information for future holidays in Montenegro.
Where to eat?
The city does not abound with a large variety of restaurants or food shops, but high-quality service and delicious food more than compensate for this shortcoming.
If you want to have a delicious meal, taste local dishes, and at the same time not spend precious rest time cooking, then go to one of the restaurants with confidence.
As already said, the quality of the cuisine is at the highest level, while the cost of the dishes is moderate.
If you are not a fan of such establishments or just want to save money, you can visit one of the grocery stores. Here, the situation is exactly the same as with restaurants: there are several places in the city where you can buy everything you need to eat well.
When it comes to shopping, this city is definitely not for him. If you want to buy some souvenirs, then you can go to the city of Budva, which is much better suited for these purposes.
About beaches
With food sorted out, you will of course want to visit the beach. The city cannot boast of a huge area for recreation, everything is quite modest, but at the same time it is cozy. However, you can rest assured that it will not harm your rest. There are relatively few people in this small town, so you will definitely find your place on the beach.
The sea has all the necessary infrastructure for a comfortable pastime. The visitor can rent an umbrella and a sun bed, this will not be expensive and at the same time will eliminate the need to walk with their belongings. Or a person can come with their own towel, which means free access to the beach for sunbathing and swimming in the sea.
You can see the time to start relaxing on the beaches in the picture below.
As you can see, from May to November, the sea water is warm enough for swimming. Additionally, I would like to note that the shallow is very small, and if you cannot swim, you will still be able to splash on the shore.
It is also worth noting that there are thermal springs in the city, which are used for rehabilitation after suffering some diseases.
The city's attractions
So we came to the most important thing: the sights of the city. This point should be given special attention, because the city is replete with different places that a tourist simply must visit.
Previously, it was a rich city, a large amount of money was invested in it, which in turn aroused great interest from the intelligentsia.
This leads to such an abundance of family estates, as well as the presence of several beautiful cathedrals that captivate the soul with their design.
If you have a lot of free time, it is recommended to visit not only existing, but already destroyed sights. These include church on a hill above the city, it is abandoned, but despite this, you should visit there. I would also like to say that the famous navigator Ivo Vizin was buried there.
In addition, we suggest visiting the following places.
- Church of the Nativity of the Virgin... This temple belongs to one of the iconic buildings in the city for several reasons. One of them is the historical value of the building. The church was founded in the XIII century and was built over 100 years, to be more precise, 120 years. Many did not believe that the cathedral would be completed, but it happened, and to this day the building pleases tourists and indigenous people of the city with its spiritual and cultural component.
- It is replete with ruined old infrastructure. This includes the Cathedral of the Three Sisters with a beautiful legend that affects such important factors for every person as love and time.
- The Beskucha Palace was built in the XIII century, when the owner's family had a huge weight in society. Meetings of the intelligentsia, in other words, parties, were held on the estate. It is worth looking at the building from the side of the sea, as it has a majestic appearance, causing delight and sadness from the fact that time mercilessly takes its toll.
- Palace of Verona. The owner's family played a key role in the development of the city. The palace is considered the richest in the city. However, it should be noted that individual estates were purchased from the Bisanti clan, and not built according to their own projects.
Today, any of the tourists can admire the sights of such a beautiful city. Be sure to buy a map so you don't miss out on any of the places worth visiting.
Of course, these are not all the sights of the city, but only a small fraction of them. We recommend that you set aside a few days just to get around as many historical sites as possible, admire the mesmerizing buildings and feel the spirit of an era long past in the summer. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed, unless a pleasant sadness arises in your soul from contact with local legends. Therefore, feel free to pack your bags, buy tickets and go for an unforgettable experience in the glorious city of Prcanj.
