Fortress of St. Cross
Perast, Montenegro

Fortress of St. Cross

Type: fortress

A 17th-century Venetian fortress on the hill above Perast, restored in 2019 and free to enter. A steep path through Donji Perast gets you there in 15 minutes, and from the top you can see the entire lower part of Boka. The least visited spot in town — in season, you will most often have it all to yourself.

Tickets

Entry: Free

The fortress is freely accessible and there is no entrance fee. It can be visited throughout the day and offers an excellent view of the Bay of Perast.
