Strolling The Streets of Adorable Kotor, Montenegro
Wait until you walk into indescribably gorgeous Kotor! The approach isn't too shabby either with fortifications snaking up the hills. Kotor is small enough to walk around comfortably and felt more intimate than Dubrovnik.
Enter through either the Sea Gate, Northern Gate or Southern Gate into a labyrinth of picturesque, narrow streets, small squares, medieval churches and palaces.
Under the Venetians, Kotor became one of the best fortified cities in the region with walls twice the length of Dubrovnik.
So very gorgeous...

KOTOR. Travel to Montenegro's Medieval City.
We spend the day exploring the absolutely stunning city of Kotor, in Montenegro. Kotor is situated on the Bay of Kotor and is surrounded by mountains.
We start the day by walking along the Bay to take in the stunning views, making our way to the walled in Old Town. After exploring the streets for a bit, and finding some of Kotor’s infamous cats, we decide to do a hike. You can hike all the way up to the Castle of San Giovanni, but since we had limited time we only went halfway to the Church of our Lady of Remedy. Here we take in the incredible view and spend some time checking out the small church. After making our way back down the mountain we decide to get some lunch. We find the number one Trip Advisor rated restaurant called Tanjga. Our food takes a long time but ends up being delicious and well priced. Finally we make our way back to our hotel to finish the day.

Kotor, Montenegro:
The Old City of Kotor is a well preserved urbanization typical of the middle Ages, built between the 12th and 14th century. Medieval architecture and numerous monuments of cultural heritage have made Kotor a UNESCO listed “World Natural and Historical Heritage Site”. Through the entire city the buildings are criss-crossed with narrow streets and squares. One of these squares contains the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon (Sveti Tripun), a monument of Roman culture and one of the most recognisable symbols of the city.Located along one of world’s most beautiful bays is Kotor, a city of traders and famous sailors, with many stories to tell.
Old town, Kotor:
The Old Town of Kotor lay in the shadows of the fearsome St. John’s Hill and the walls protecting this town are a fortification masterpiece at up to 15 meters wide and 20 meters high each. These walls are skillfully crafted into the natural steep slopes of the hill and the view of this town on approach is one of the amazing sights, not only of the Mediterranean, but of the world.
A person’s first look at Kotor, whether from the sea or from the road, always leaves a strong impression. Kotor is unique for several reasons. It is located on the only natural fjord of its kind in the world and in a bay that has made the list of Most Beautiful Bays in the World. But visiting Kotor is about more than beautiful views—it’s also about experiencing the cultural heritage of Boka Kotorska Bay.
San Giovanni Castle, Kotor:
San Giovanni, also called St. John’s Castle, is perched 1200m high on the hill of St. John. The fortifications date back as far as 532 when Byzantine Emperor Justinian I had the fort built. Since it’s creation, the fort has under seen plenty of changes and battles under Venetian, Russian, and French rule. It’s been bombed by British Naval armies, occupied during World War II, and even survived three separate earthquakes.
The walking path to San Giovanni castle has 1,350 steps and needs good shoes. The view over the Kotor bay is breathtaking from the top.
San Giovanni is part of the fortifications of Kotor which are an integrated historical fortification system that protected the medieval town of Kotor containing ramparts, towers, citadels, gates, bastions, forts, cisterns, a castle, and ancillary buildings and structures. They incorporate military architecture of Illyria, Byzantium, Venice, and Austria. Together with the old town and its natural surroundings the fortifications were inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1979 labelled Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor.
Lady remedy, kotor:
The Church of Our Lady of Remedy (Crkva Gospe od Zdravlja or Crkva Marije Koleđate) is a Roman Catholic church located in Kotor, which dates from early XIV century. The congregation is roosted on the slant of the St. John Mountain right above Old Town Kotor. It can only be reached on foot by climbing Kotor City Wall stairs on the path to St John Fortress.

Ramparts of Kotor Damaged
On the 1st of November, 2016 one of the buttress on the northern gate of Kotor, Montenegro collapsed. The reason of collapse was the lost of the ground bellow the wall due to a neglect. The buttress was constructed during the Austro-Hungarian government in the 19th century. The purpose of this buttress was to reinforce medieval part of the Kotor ramparts and to prevent falling of the wall into the Škurda river. Unfortunately, same will happen to the similar nearby buttress, since it is also lost it ground support. Recently, opposite side of the same wall collapsed. Kotor and the whole inner part of the Bay of Kotor is on UNESCO World Heritage Site List.

_______________________________________________________
The fortifications of Kotor are an integrated historical fortification system that protected the medieval town of Kotor (then called Cattaro la veneziana) containing ramparts, towers, citadels, gates, bastions, forts, cisterns, a castle, and ancillary buildings and structures. They incorporate military architecture mainly of Venice, but also a few of Illyria, Byzantium, and Austria. Together with the old town and its natural surroundings the fortifications were inscribed in the list of World Heritage Sites in 1979 labelled Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor and represent the only such site of cultural significance in Montenegro.
The fortified city of Kotor was also included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list as part of Venetian Works of Defence between 15th and 17th centuries: Stato da Terra – western Stato da Mar in 2017.
History
_______
The top of the mountain of St.John was already fortified during Illyrian times. In the 6th century the emperor Justinian I reconstructed the fortress. With the retreat of the Byzantines, eventually and in spite of numerous incursions some independence was attained, however this had no lasting effects upon the fortifications. This changed when in 1420 the then independent Republic of Cattaro (one of the neolatin Dalmatian city-states) succumbed to Venetian rule.
As part of Albania Veneta the fortifications received their current structure. During this time there were two successful Ottoman sieges followed by occupations, 1538 – 1571 and 1657 – 1699. In 1797 the fortifications passed to the Habsburg Monarchy with the Treaty of Campo Formio. In 1805, Kotor (then named Cattaro) was assigned to the French Empire's client state, the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy by the Treaty of Pressburg, but initially occupied by Russian troops under Dmitry Senyavin until they left after the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807. Three years later it was incorporated into the French Empire's Illyrian Provinces. The fortifications of the city were attacked by the British naval Captain William Hoste with his ship HMS Bacchante (38 guns). In an unmilitary manner he hauled his ships' cannon to positions above the fort using block and tackle and started the shelling. After a ten-day siege, the French garrison had no alternative and surrendered on January 5, 1814.
With the Congress of Vienna Kotor was returned to the Austrian Empire. After their defeat in World War I the Austrians left and the fortress was no longer manned. During World War II Kotor was occupied by the Axis forces and was part of Italy's Governorate of Dalmatia. German troops occupied the city in September 1943: it was liberated on November 21, 1944, a date commemorated over the Sea Gate.
Severe earthquakes that damaged the fortifications occurred in 1563, 1667, and most recently, on April 15, 1979.
Description
___________
The castle St. John (San Giovanni) and the western hillside wall.
The medieval part of the town of Kotor is located on a triangular piece of land that is bordered by the most inner extension of the Bay of Kotor at its south-western side, the river Skurda toward the North, and the mountain of St. John (San Giovanni) towards the East. City walls protect the city on its northern and south-western side, towards the waters. The walls are fortified by bastions, most prominent being the Kampana tower and citadel (13th to 14th century) near the point where the river enters the bay. Close to it is the Sea Gate (also Main Gate) from 1555 allowing access from the bay, the two other gates to the city are the River Gate (also North Gate) from 1540 with the nearby Bembo Bastion from 1540 and the Gurdic Gate (also South Gate), the latter modified many times and fortified by the Gurdic Bastion from 1470. The Bembo Bastion has been converted into an open theatre. Two additional gates were present, one walled up south of the Sea Gate, the other, Spiljarskia Gate, within the ramparts of the hillside towards the old road to Cetinje.

10 Things to do in Budva, Montenegro Travel Guide (Будва) Video Transcript:
Good morning good morning guys. Greetings from Budva, Montenegro. Budva! So this is our second stop in Montenegro. Yeah. We left Kotor behind and what was it like 30 or 40 minute bus ride. Yeah, ridiculously close. Yep. Probably our shortest travel day. Yeah. So far. And we're also really close to the Old Town. Like our apartment is a 15 minute walk. Yeah. So we've just walked down here and we're going to show you some different things you can in Budva in this travel guide. But first breakfast. Breakfast of course.
Budva is a popular resort town that sits on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, so we started the morning off with a walk along the harbour where you can see everything from little fishing boats to luxury yachts. Though Budva is very close to Kotor, it has a very different feel so we’re going to take you on a quick day tour of the city and show you what it’s all about.
Budva Old Town Beach may not be the prettiest to swim in, but you do get some nice views of the walled city with St. Ivan’s Church peeking above the fortifications, but now let’s continue up the coast.
If you keep walking west along the coast, you’ll first come across the Ballerina Statue, also nicknamed Yoga Girl, keep following that path and it’ll bring you to Mogren Beach and Mogren 2, which are a bit sandier and less pebbly than the beach in the Old Town.
The Old Town of Budva is situated on a rocky peninsula, with the citadel located on the southern tip of the city. There isn’t a lot of information about the site once you enter, but it’s worth the visit for the views of the Old Town alone.
And that’s pretty much it for our tour of Budva. As you can see, the Old Town is quite small and compact, so you could easily cover it in half a day if you only had time for a day trip. We hope you enjoyed this quick tour and we’ll see you in the next video!
This is part of our Travel in Montenegro video series showcasing Montenegrin food, Montenegrin culture and Montenegrin cuisine.

The Old Town of Budva (Montenegro)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The most important tourist destination of Montenegro is Budva, a resort located on the Adriatic coast. In turn, the crown of the tourist attractions of Budva shines through the most precious pearl, namely the Old Town, which is in line with the amazing fortress-cities located further north on the Dalmatian coast, namely Kotor, Dubrovnik and others. The present video is intended to be an introduction to the fantastic world of this millenary city seen through the eyes of a rushed tourist who sneaks through the maze of narrow streets bordered by tall stone houses, a legacy from the period of Venetian domination (15th-18th centuries), in good part now transformed into a tourist bazaar, discovering the main objectives, but also the life of the inhabitants invaded by the hordes of tourists.
