City
There is the Balshic Tower, built at the beginning of the 12th century, in the upper town, or Citadel. That was a very tall for its time three-storey structure, named after a Balshic dynasty, which ruled in Serbia. Montenegro was a part of Serbia from 1356 to 1435. The rulers used the tower as their summer residence. An interesting fact about the Balshic Tower is that it once housed a famous Talmud interpreter, a leader of a Jewish uprising in the Ottoman Empire, Shabtaj Zvi. He died in the Tower in 1676, having converted to Islam under the name of Mehmet Efendi. Today, the Balshic Tower houses an art gallery.
