Old Town Budva

The stone fortification spans across a rocky peninsula, featuring defensive walls, towers, and gates that protect the inner residential quarters and historic structures.

The fortress walls date back to the 9th century and underwent reconstruction by Venetians after a 17th-century earthquake damaged the original defensive structures.

Four churches within the fort walls reflect different religious influences, including the 9th-century Church of Saint John and the Orthodox Church of Holy Trinity.

The citadel contains a museum displaying archaeological findings, dining establishments, and an observation deck offering views across the Adriatic coastline.

The fortress walls incorporate Roman artifacts and remnants of a Greek necropolis discovered during excavations, revealing 2,500 years of continuous settlement.
