There are 47 immovable cultural properties in the municipality of Pljevlja, a large number of which have the status of cultural property of national importance.
This is stated in the Study on the Protection of Cultural Heritage for the Needs of Amendments and Supplements to the Spatial and Urban Plan of the Municipality of Pljevlja, prepared by the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Montenegro.
The most famous cultural assets in the area of the Municipality of Pljevlja are, among others, the Komini Archaeological Site, also known as Municipium S, where a very rare Dietret pottery vessel was found.
This city and its surroundings contain exceptional sacral heritage of national importance, the Husein Pasha Mosque and the Holy Trinity Monastery. There are also the Monasteries of Dubočica, Dovolja, and St. Archangel Michael on Đurđevića Tara...
A respectable heritage, which has the status of cultural property, is also dedicated to the fallen soldiers of World War II: the Memorial Center on Stražica, as well as other monuments, memorial plaques and memorial fountains in memory of those who died in the National Liberation War.
There are several protected movable cultural assets, and apart from the Local History Museum, they are located in the Holy Trinity Monastery and the Husein Pasha Mosque.
"Cultural assets and cultural heritage of Pljevlja are of different levels of preservation and condition, both in terms of the state of inherited cultural and historical values and their physical condition. At the same time, cultural heritage and heritage objects are threatened by various risks, so it is understood that in order to improve the state of the overall inherited values of cultural assets and heritage of Pljevlja, appropriate measures and actions are recognized and taken to improve the state and minimize risks. One of the measures taken to reduce risks and improve the state of cultural assets and cultural heritage is certainly this Cultural Heritage Protection Study. Cultural assets are used for their original and adequate purposes and are mainly exposed to the risk of degradation of cultural and historical values, due to inadequate and unprofessional rehabilitation, or due to excessive construction in the immediate vicinity of cultural assets, especially the archaeological site of Komini...", the Study states.
Other segments of cultural heritage that require special attention are also discussed in detail: potential archaeological sites, areas with pronounced ambient values, potential cultural assets that are reasonably assumed to have cultural and historical values, registered objects, as well as areas that possess cultural landscape values.
The Study also addresses intangible cultural assets that are practiced throughout the territory of Montenegro, including in Pljevlja: Montenegrin oro (performing art, folklore dance), gusla making (traditional craft) and playing and singing with the gusla or guslanija.
“Intangible cultural heritage, the preserved living heritage of the Pljevlja region, was partially recorded in 2012 in the First Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Montenegro.
