For centuries, the territory of Montenegro replaced the different cultures and nations, each of them has left at least some trace of its existence. In the area of Orja Luka, a village of central Montenegro, on the third kilometres from Danilovgrad, in plain called Bjelopavlici, the dominant influence was the Turkish government and we can say that it mostly guided the life of its inhabitants. Looking more recently, the area of Orja Luka largely resists the construction fever. A reason for this may be, mostly, a financial moment that is clearly felt in the atmosphere during visiting the area, of this and every other rural area. Perhaps ironically, but from the standpoint of identity, authentication, protection this can be a positive thing in the whole story. Users of objects don't have funds to arrange the area in which they live. The old buildings still dominate, but on their architecture signs of the times are visible. It is possible, little by little, as a result of modern urbanization ambient traditional architecture disappears. But all the forces we have to fight that the specificity of this architectural speech remains a powerful inspiration for future achievements based on the idea of preserving the local and regional urban planning and architecture.
