Kotor

Kotor is a place where the space between the mountain and the sea is so narrow that the city had to grow within the walls. This relationship between nature and architecture gives it an appearance that can hardly be compared to other cities on the Adriatic. The Old Town did not arise all at once, but developed through different periods, which can still be seen today in the layout of squares, churches and palaces. For centuries, seafaring has determined the life of its inhabitants and shaped the ties of Kotor with other ports of the Mediterranean. Although it is now known around the world, the city has preserved the feeling of a place where everyday life takes place behind stone walls. The ascent towards the fortress reveals a view that best shows why one of the most important settlements of the bay was created here. The sea, the mountains and the history work together here. Kotor is not a city of spectacle, but of details that the visitor discovers gradually. It is this layering that leaves the strongest impression on the people who visit it.
