KONAK U GORNJOJ CRNUĆI – DVOR KNEZA MILOŠA OBRENOVIĆA

The process of founding and shaping a capital proved to be one of the key issues within the representative culture in any era. This was of particular importance when it came to the 19th century societies in the Balkans due to the emergence of national consciousness and the creation of nation-states on what had been Ottoman territory for quite a long time.
