The bar has a zero kilometer sign

Montenegrin Bar is one of the few cities that have a zero kilometer sign, which is not the capital of the state. In the Bar, this is due to the presence of a cargo terminal for sea vessels - it is from this city that many carriers and tourists begin their journey.

Zero kilometer is the starting point of road distances, which has a rich history and a peculiar charm. For example, the sign of the zero kilometer "Milliarium Aureum" in Rome, served as an excuse for expression. All roads lead to Rome. Also, signs are installed in many capitals of Europe, and many of them indicate the number of kilometers to the nearest capitals or sights. This is reminiscent of Greece, where all the starting points are counted from the seaports, with the only difference being that Greece does not have any official sign of the zero kilometer.

The sign in the Bar is a 7 meter figure, made in the form of a spiral. Her mock-up was approved by the City Tourist Organization in the 2013 competition, and Petar Tsarevich became the winner of the contest and the author of the mock-up.

For the sake of the sign of the zero kilometer, installed near the passenger terminal of the seaport on Vladimir Rolovich's street, we had to carry the pillar with the clock that had previously pointed the flowerbed at the road junction.
