Kotor is the jewel of the Bay of Kotor and one of the best-preserved medieval port towns on the Mediterranean. Nestled beneath the sheer cliffs of Mount Lovćen, this UNESCO-protected city captivates with its cobblestone streets, Venetian palaces, and mighty ramparts that climb the hillside all the way up to the Fortress of St. John. The breathtaking fusion of sea, mountains, and Venetian architecture makes Kotor one of the most photogenic destinations along the entire Adriatic coast.
A medieval fortified city on the UNESCO World Heritage List, surrounded by mighty walls from the Venetian period. A labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets conceals Romanesque churches, palaces, and Trg Svetog Tripuna. One of the best-preserved coastal towns on the Adriatic.
An imposing fortress at 260 meters above sea level overlooking Kotor, with a summit dating back to the Illyrian and Roman periods, later expanded during the Venetian era. The climb of approximately 1,350 steps is rewarded with spectacular views of the Bay of Kotor. Along the way stands the 17th-century Chapel of Our Lady of Health.
A Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the patron saint of Kotor, built in the Romanesque style in 1166, and one of the most significant Romanesque structures in the Balkans. The interior houses the relics of Saint Tryphon and a precious Gothic-Renaissance ciborium from the 14th century. Two distinctive towers dominate the panorama of the old town.
