Kotor, Medieval port city in Bay of Kotor, Montenegro
The old town features limestone fortification walls that stretch 4.5 kilometers around the settlement, rising sharply up the mountain slope behind the city.
Between 1420 and 1797, the Venetian Republic controlled this maritime center, resulting in significant architectural developments and the construction of defensive structures.
The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, built in 1166, displays Romanesque architectural elements and houses medieval frescoes and a silver altar screen.
Visitors can reach the San Giovanni Fortress by climbing 1350 steps from the old town, offering views across the bay and surrounding mountains.
The natural bay forms Europe's southernmost fjord, creating a sheltered harbor that supported maritime trade for more than two millennia.
