Njegusi (Serbian Cyrillic: Његуши) is a village in the Cetinje Municipality of southern Montenegro, located on the slopes of Mount Lovcen, within the Lovcen national park. The village is best known as the birthplace of the Petrovic dynasty, which ruled Montenegro from 1697 to 1918, as well as the Montenegrin office of the ``serdar`` and ``guvernadur``, held by the Radonjic family. The village is also significant for its well-preserved traditional folk architecture. Njeguski sir and Njeguski prsut (local forms of cheese and prosciutto respectively), made solely in area around Njegusi, are genuine contributions to Montenegrin cuisine. The village is situated in the Njegusi field and historically used to be a center of the tribe of the same name that formed a part of Katunska Nahija, one of the provinces of Old Montenegro. The village consists of the settlements: Dugi Do, Zanjev Do, Erakovici, Kopito, Vrba, Raicevici, Velji and Mali Zalazi, Majstori and Mirac. The name Njegusi is according to Ilija Ruvarac derived from Negusius Podcupica, mentioned in an 11th-century document. The original house the Petrovic Family used to live in is located at 42.432271, 18.808675.
