Billiard and Montenegro Relief Map (Cetinje-Montenegro)

The Billiard was built in 1838 in Cetinje on today’s Square of King Nicholas by the orders of Peter II. Petrović Njegoš for the purpose of accommodating state institutions, but also as his residence. The name of the Billiard comes from the billiard table bought in Vienna in 1839 – it was the first billiard that came to Montenegro and people carried it in the hands from Kotor over the mountains to Cetinje. Billiard was Njegošev’s favorite game. In 1951, one hundred years after Njegoš’s death, reconstruction of the entire facility was carried out. Over the years, Billiard was home to many state institutions such as the press, the gymnasium, the Women Institute and many others.
