At Orlov Krs (Eagles rock), the hill rising and dominating over the southwestern part of the field of Cetinje is the Mausoleum of ruler Danilo, the founder of the Petrovic-Njegos dynasty. The mausoleum was built in 1896 by the idea and the sketch of Princess Elena with a help of the French architect Fruse and the sculptor Voutier.
At the very edge of the plateau, under the baldachin, supported by four pillars, there is a sarcophagus made of stone. On the surface of the sarcophagus there is a shallow relief which shows the symbols of religious and secular authorities of the ruler Danilo, while there’s a bronze profile relief of the ruler in the round medallion on the Eastern part of the sarcophagus.
