The palace complex of Nikola I Petrović in Bar with its buildings: the Big and Small castles, watchtowers, the court chapel and the winter garden is located near the sea, in Topolica. It was built for his own needs by Prince Petar Karadjordjevic, the son-in-law of Prince Nikola, who lived in Montenegro since his marriage to Zorka, only to be bought from him by the Montenegrin ruler. The castle was first mentioned in the "Voice of the Montenegrin" from 1885, so this year is considered the year of its construction, which is associated with the name of the then court architect Josip Slade. It is built of brick in lime mortar, with yellow flat surfaces alternating with white ornaments and woodwork. The roof is made of wood, covered with asbestos boards. The facades of the building are divided horizontally by a horizontal profiled cornice. The ground floor is decorated in the spirit of neoclassicism by imitating shallow squares with large windows, which end in a semicircle. At the back, a side entrance has been formed with a large and steep staircase leading to a court park full of Mediterranean vegetation. In 1910, a spacious rectangular ballroom with rounded corners was added to the west façade. At the corners of the fence wall of the Great Castle, towards the sea, there is a six-sided watchtower with broken arched windows. King Nikola was last in the Castle on June 29, 1914. After the First World War, as the newspaper "Zetski glasnik" writes, the castle and the surrounding estate "represented a certain devastation and ruin". From 1933, the Special Agricultural School for Southern Cultures "Topolica", the only one in the country, started working in the Palace. From 1946 to September 1949, the High Agricultural School operated in the Castle, and by erecting a new building for this institution, it was turned into a residential building for several families. It functioned as a residential building until 1960, when it housed the Homeland Museum, and from 1965 to 1977, the city library. Today, the Homeland Museum is located in the Great Castle, and it is also used for gallery-exhibition and music-stage needs. Other buildings of the palace complex are in commercial use.

The old olive is a European olive tree (Olea europaea) which is believed to be the oldest tree of its kind in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. It is located in the town of Bar in Montenegro and in 1957 it was protected by law and declared a natural monument. It is one of the most important natural assets in Montenegro. [1] The age of this tree is estimated at more than 2000 years. She died twice in a fire in the past, but both times she recovered and is still giving birth. The fruit is collected from it and olive oil is made from it, which is sold to the visitors of the complex. Interest in the Old Olive is growing and every year it is visited by a large number of tourists from all over the world. Many legends and legends are connected to the Old Olive Tree on Mirovica. According to one of them, under this tree, at a time when there was blood feuds in this area, quarreling armies, fraternities and families were reconciling. It is said that during the reign of King Nikola, the condition for every Baranin who wanted to get married was to have to plant 20 olive trees. [2] The obligation to preserve the Old Olive has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Older Barani remember the ban on tearing branches or leaves from its tree, as well as the legend of a curse that would befall anyone who tried to destroy or cut it down. It is said that, during the Italian occupation, its owners at the time were offered huge sums of money by botanists who stayed in Bar to take the olive out and take it to Italy, which they refused without thinking.
