Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kotor Bay, Montenegro

The region encompasses the Bay of Kotor with steep limestone cliffs, medieval towns, and a natural harbor that forms part of the Adriatic coastline.

The fortifications around Kotor, constructed during different periods from Roman to Austrian rule, stretch up the mountainside and demonstrate centuries of military engineering.

The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, built in 1166, stands as a primary example of Romanesque architecture and holds a collection of medieval religious artifacts.

Visitors can reach the region through three airports: Tivat at 11 kilometers distance, Podgorica at 90 kilometers, or Dubrovnik at 73 kilometers from Kotor.

The two islets in the bay, Saint George and Our Lady of the Rocks, contain a 6th-century Benedictine monastery and a 15th-century Catholic church.
