Vladimir Vysotsky Monument
Vladimir Vysotsky Monument (Jovana Tomasevica bb, Podgorica 81000) – another of the few touristy sights in Podgorica is this monument dedicated to Russian bard Vladimir Vysotsky (who died in 1980). Located near the Millennium Bridge, it was a gift from Moscow and place there in 2004. Surrounded by a geometrical metal frame which reflects a blinding light in summertime, the Vysotsky monument depicts the singer bare-chested and barefoot, holding a guitar in one hand and raising his other arm in the air, while a skull nestles at the base of the pedestal. Strangely enough, most locals do not know who Vysotsky is.
