Stone Town - Andrićgrad
Andrićgrad or Kamengrad is a town, cultural center and a type of ethno-village, located at the Ušće location at the confluence of the Drina and Rzav rivers in Višegrad, whose creator was the director Emir Kusturica. It opened to visitors on July 5, 2012
The city is built of stone and contains about fifty buildings. The city has a city theater, a modern cinema, city administration, an academy of fine arts, the Andrić high school building, a river marina and pier, hotels, squares, a church, an old inn, shops and a memorial house to Ivo Andrić. The academy of fine arts that will exist in Kamengrad will include a Faculty of Directing. It is also expected that Serbia, and perhaps some other countries, will open their consulates and honorary consulates in Andrić's town.
An international Academy of Arts was founded here in 2016 to train actors, directors and related professions.
The church dedicated to the Holy Emperor Lazarus and the Kosovo Martyrs was consecrated on St. Vitus' Day, June 28, 2014, by Serbian Patriarch Irinej.

Attractions
Monument to Ivo Andrić
The monument to Ivo Andrić is located on Nikola Tesla Square in the central part of Andrićgrad. The 2.4-meter-high monument was unveiled on St. Vitus' Day, June 28, 2012, during the ceremony marking the anniversary of the beginning of the construction of Andrić Grad. The monument was created as a reaction to the demolition of the bust of Ivo Andrić in Višegrad in 1991. On July 1, 1991, five Muslim extremists led by Murat Šabanović tore down the bust of Ivo Andrić in Višegrad with crowbars and then threw it into the Drina River
Monument to Petar II Petrović Njegoš
The monument to Njegoš is located on the square of the same name, in front of the Church of St. Prince Lazar, guarding the back of Ivo Andrić. It was unveiled on November 29, 2013, by Matija Bećković, on his birthday, with the words
Welcome, Master, to the city built so that you would have somewhere to go and someone to visit, and as soon as you arrived, it became obvious that you had always been here, that you had never left here.
The monument is identical to the monuments in Podgorica and Belgrade. The inscription on the pedestal of the monument reads: "To the tragic hero of Kosovo thought."
