Over the centuries of its existence, the city has been under the rule of various countries and rulers, including Turkey. Once there was a well-fortified acropolis in Medun. The steps cut into the rocks have survived to this day. Not far from the acropolis lay a cemetery and ritual sites.

Montenegrin warrior and writer Marko Milianov is buried on the territory of the city, and a memorial museum is now located in his home.
