Bar

Bar extends along 44 kilometers of coastline, featuring Mediterranean architecture, modern port facilities, and beaches bordered by mountains and olive groves.

The settlement transformed from a Roman castle named Antipargal in the 6th century to a Venetian city-state with its own currency between 1405 and 1412.

The Old Olive of Mirovica in Bar, dating back over 2000 years, stands as a natural monument representing the agricultural traditions of the region.

The port of Bar processes 5 million tons of cargo annually and connects to Belgrade through the railway system established in 1976.

In 1904, inventor Guglielmo Marconi established the first radio connection across the Adriatic Sea between Bar and the Italian city of Bari.
