The oldest and most beautiful tower in the area is the Redzepagic Tower, dating back to the 17th century, built by Hasan-Beg Redzepagic.
The area around Plav and Gusinje is famous for the stone houses and towers. They differ in structure and form from the wooden houses. They were built from the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century and they are constructed with hardly any openings and purpose built as defense. The Redzepagic Tower is the oldest and most interesting housing-defence facility in the city of Plav. It was built in 1671 by Hasan-beg Redzepagic. The tower has three floors connected by wooden indoor stairs. Two floors are made of stone and the third one of wood. On each side of the building, on the second floor, there are covered wooden balconies. The ground floor was used for horses and as a warehouse, and on the first floor there were rooms intended for sitting, sleeping and eating. Loopholes are made in the walls over one metre thick. The tower is now hosting the local ethnographic collection. A Young man who speaks English shows all the rooms to the visitors. He explains the history of the tower and its use by the residents.

Known also as the City Tower, it is one of the symbols of Herceg Novi. It is situated in the western part of the Old Town, and its main feature is the clock, which was replaced with an electric one in the mid-nineties of the last century.

One of the main symbols of the four-century Turkish rule over Podgorica. This building, built by Hafis-Pasha in the 18th century, dominates the landscape of the Stara Varos. This cultural and historic monument has been the only public clock in the city for a long time.
Not many types of buildings can survive what this monument did. It's crazy to think that it is still standing. The Clock Tower, named Sahat Kula, was one of the few landmarks that survived the WW2 bombings. It was built in 1667, is made of stone and stands 19 meters tall. It was renovated in January 2012 and a new electric mechanism was installed. We didn't know what to expect, but the contrast of the stones with the blue sky looked really cool.
