Natural History Museum Of Montenegro, Sahat Kula, 2019
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the physical world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The word ''nature'' is borrowed from the Old French ''nature'' and is derived from the Latin word ''natura'', or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant " birth". In ancient philosophy, ''natura'' is mostly used as the Latin translation of the Greek word '' physis'' (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics of plants, animals, and other features of the world to develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by ...

History Efforts to create a Latin character-based Montenegrin alphabet go back to at least World War I, when a newspaper was published in Cetinje using both Latin script, Latin and Cyrillic scr ...

Depedogen
The Ribnica Fortress ( sr, тврђава Рибница, tvrđava Ribnica) is an historic Ottoman fortress located in the Stara Varoš neighborhood of Podgorica, the capital city of Montenegro. History The fortress was built in the late 15th century (around 1477), during the period of Ottoman reign. It was built above the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers, and was one of two fortresses surrounding Stara Varoš. For a long time, Depedöğen (Turkish; sr, Депедоген, Depedogen) was used as an ammunition warehouse. It was severely damaged in 1878, when a lightning strike triggered an explosion which destroyed a large part of the fortress's interior and exterior. It is believed that the fortress stems from the 12th century and that it is the birthplace of Stefan Nemanja, the founding father of the Nemanjić dynasty. Therefore, many call the fortress Nemanjin Grad or Nemanjića Grad ("Nemanja's Town" in Serbian), and Orthodox ceremonies are often held at th ...
