Old Olive Tree in Mirovica
Stara maslina
An ancient olive tree said to be more than 2,000 years old, protected as a Montenegrin natural heritage site and a symbol of Bar.
This ancient olive tree grows in the Mirovica district of Bar. It is said to be over 2,000 years old, making it one of the oldest olive trees in Europe. It has been legally protected since 1957, and its thick, twisted trunk is striking. The tree is enclosed in a small walled courtyard, with entry costing about one or two euros, and it takes only a few minutes to see. It is often combined with a visit to Stari Bar, about 2 km away. Locals have a tradition of "reconciliation under the ancient tree," and the area hosts olive-related events each winter.
