Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro known for its church and bridge

Podgorica is the capital of the Republic of Montenegro, located on the Moraca River in the Skutari Basin in the southeast of Montenegro, and is the political and economic center of Montenegro. It is about 98 kilometers by car from the old town of Kotor, the road is not very good, and it took us 1 hour and 52 minutes. Podgorica is a rapidly developing city with complete facilities and is the city with the most development potential in Montenegro. The church and bridge are must-visit landmarks here. 🏛 Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ: Construction began in 1933, fulfilling the long-standing spiritual wishes and needs of Orthodox Christians. The exterior of the church is simple, but the interior has great architectural and artistic value, with its exquisite decorations, stone sculptures, frescoes, icon paintings, mosaics, and wood carvings, it has become a unique church in the entire Orthodox world! After visiting, I was quite shocked, speechless at the delicacy~ It is the most classic Orthodox church I have ever seen, being someone who is rarely amazed. 🌉 Millennium Bridge: The Millennium Bridge over the Moraca River is a uniquely designed white cable-stayed bridge, which was opened on Montenegro's National Day in 2005. The bridge is 173 meters long and is a landmark of Podgorica, as well as the boundary between the new town and the old town. Locals said that on the day the Millennium Bridge opened, the entire capital celebrated wildly, with fireworks and firecrackers celebrating 🥳 into the late night... Of course, for someone like me who comes from Chongqing, a city of bridges, I've seen too many bridges to be very interested. I would rather spend more time appreciating the exquisite interior of the church.
