Podgorica  is the capital and largest city of Republic of Montenegro. A census in 2003 put city's population at 136,473. The favorable geographical position of Podgorica, at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers, on the meeting point of fertile Zeta plain and Bjelopavlići Valley has made the city an attractive location for settlement. The city is situated only a few tens of kilometers from both winter ski centers in the north and seaside resorts on Adriatic Sea. Podgorica is home to many Montenegrin cultural institutions and events. It hosts the Montenegrin National Theatre and many museums and galleries. The Montenegrin National Theatre is the most famous theatre not only in Podgorica, but in all of Montenegro. Podgorica is also host to the City's Theatre, the Children’s Theatre and the Puppet Theatre, as well as to many smaller enthusiastic theatre troupes. Although not as rich in museums and galleries as the historic royal capital Cetinje, there are several noteworthy museums, among which are the Podgorica City Museum, the Museum of Marko Miljanov and the Natural History Museum. The best known art galleries of Podgorica are Dvorac Petrovića (Petrović's Castle) and Perjanički dom (House of the Honor Guard).
