2018Historical Heritage - Risto Ratkovic House - First Day Cover

Risto Ratković wrote the first modern novel in Montenegro and is one of the best Montenegrin poets. The house of Risto Ratković belongs to the most beautiful type of oriental architecture with its preserved courtyard wall, gate and accompanying facilities. During the reconstruction of 2005, its authentic architecture was preserved and adapted for the organisation of various cultural events. The most important of those are undoubtedly Ratković’s Poetry Evenings, which have been held since 1971 and which have in time become the most important literary event in Montenegro.
