The Montenegrin prince built this bridge in honor of his mother, who was born in this area.1 By order of Prince Danilo Petrovic, it was built a century and a half ago, and a plaque with the inscription \"Prince Danilo Prvi Petrovic Njegos built this bridge for the soul of his mother Krstina Petrovic Njegos<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

in 1858\" was built into the stone fence of the bridge. The bridge built for the soul of Danilo's mother is located about a kilometer upstream from the mouth of the Mrtvica in Moraca. It used to be a \"shortcut\" on the tribal road between Piper and Bjelopavlic on one side and Gornja and Donja Moraca and Rovac on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cultural site details<\/h3>\n

Mrtvice Canyon is certainly one of the most beautiful canyons in the former Yugoslavia. Hidden at the foot of Mount Maganik, it is a real treasure of untouched nature. It is located 30 km from Kolasin, in the direction of Podgorica, in the village of Medjurecje.3 On the road between Me\u0111urijecje and Mrtvi dubok, on the river Mrtvica, and above Zeleni vir, a stone bridge was built, attributed to Danilov most. Based on the memorial plaque, made in the rock on the north side of the bridge, the year of completion of construction, ie 1858, is known. The main rehabilitation project (statics) was done and revised in 1991.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The stone construction of the bridge consists of two arches of unequal spans with foundations on the rock. The passable surface of the bridge is 168 m wide, and consists of a layer of compacted earth poured over the stone structure. The stone fence of the bridge is 0.80 m high, and has a concrete cap on the surface. The central pillar is made of well-worked and complex slab stone, while the upper zones are made of cut stone. The arches of the bridge are accentuated by an indented row of stones, above which are stacked thinner stone slabs that protrude 5 cm from the face of the wall. The natural environment is preserved. The monument is preserved and in good condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The problem zone is located on the south side, which directly atmospheric and earthy deposits directly on the part of the fence wall and continues to the bridge. A temporary drainage channel has been formed to cushion shocks and direct atmospheric conditions. The cobblestones are in good condition. Therefore, during the implementation of measures on the bridge, the cobblestones will be completely discovered and treated. The fence wall on the south side during the renovation was not continued to the original, ie the foundation foot of the reconstructed wall was moved by 12 cm, which caused the joints to crack and the building structure to move. Preventive measures were also carried out on the memorial plaque, and detailed treatment will be carried out in accordance with the future Conservation Project. The conservation project is under construction and will be submitted to the Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
