Pljevlja, near the border of Serbia, is the northern most town in Montenegro. The area of the municipality contains more than 60 percent of all the treasures of the soil in the country. The mining industry and the air pollution don’t make Pljevlja a tourist destination, but it is worth visiting, especially if you’re in the region anyway to see the Tara Canyon (see National Parks). In the center of the town stands the mosque of Pascha Gazi Husein from 1562. It is not only considered to be an important Turkish monument, but its 42-meter high minaret is the highest minaret in the country.
