About Historical Heritage

Doclea is the largest and most significant archaeological site in the territory of Montenegro. Doclea is an ancient city near today’s Podgorica, and it was founded in the I century AD. At the end of the same century, during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, it acquired the status of a municipality, and in the VI century, during the reign of Emperor Justinian it became Episcopal seat, and a bit later a seat of Archbishop. As an ancient city, Doclea was last mentioned in 602 year. After the immigration of Slavs it was not inhabited. Archaeological excavations have been performed several times and found that in addition to residential buildings in the city there were great palaces, temples, baths, forums, and basilicas. The Post of Montenegro in its edition named "Historic heritage” publishes appropriate edition of stamps, which contains four stamps and Envelope on the first day. Author of the conceptually design is Ana Pajovic, a graphic designer from Podgorica.
