Nikšići (tribe)
The Nikšići ( sr-Cyrl, Никшићи) was one of the historical tribes in the Ottoman Sanjak of Herzegovina, constituting the Nikšić ''nahija''. It was part of Old Herzegovina, that in 1858 was '' de facto'' incorporated into the Principality of Montenegro. The Nikšići appear in the historical record during the end of the 14th century and they were explicitly mentioned as Vlachs of Herzegovina and Zeta. Name The name Nikšići is the plural of ''Nikšić'', a Slavic patronym derived from ''Nikša'', the likely founder of the tribe. ''Nikša'' is a hypocoristic of ''Nikola'' and was common during the Middle Ages in the littoral cities of Zeta and Dalmatia, especially in Dubrovnik. The variant ''Nikša'' may derive from the Albanian diminutive ''Niksh'' which produced ''Nikšić'' with the Slavic suffix ''-ić''. History The Nikšići are mentioned alongside numerous Montenegrin and Herzegovinian tribes in the 14th and 15th century archives from Dubrovnik and Kotor. ...

Tsar's Bridge, Nikšić
The Tsar's Bridge () is a monumental historical bridge near Nikšić, Montenegro. It is a major state-protected landmark despite being not actively used nowadays. Overview The Tsar's Bridge is named after the Russian Emperor Alexander III, who financed the construction of the bridge in the year 1894. It crosses the Zeta river and its valley. It is remarkable for its significant length (270 m) and many spans (18). The highest span measures 13 meters. The bridge is much wider than the modern river channel, this is due to the presence of a large backwater pool that existed in the past, which was drained in the 20th century. Nowadays, the river's channel is straightened and strengthened by concrete in the area, so only one span actually crosses the river. Under the highest bridge span exists a little pedestrian doubling bridge. A local road passes by the bridge, it connects Nikšić to the north and mountainous and rural areas to the south with places such as Pandurica castle ...
