The Bay of Kotor is one of the most beautiful and romantic landscapes in Montenegro and has the most incredible natural sights of Europe. The Bay consists of 4 smaller but adjoining bays and it is a characteristic of each one that 1000-1700 metres high mountains rise from their coasts. The view of the Bay of Kotor is absolutely fascinating. It is almost all the same if we catch sight of it first from the sea or from the land, the experience will surely be unforgettable. The Bay has been awarded membership of the association for the "Most Beautiful Bays in the World" and was designated a World Heritage Site in 1979. The bay is famed not just for its unique natural beauty but also for the unique number of monuments and towns of cultural-historical significance. From Herzeg Novi in the north-west, to the communities of Perast, Risan and Kotor and the island monastery of St. George, the Bay bears colourful testament to the history of the region, which has formed part of the Illyrian, Roman, Dalmation, Venetian, Napoleonic and Austro-Hungarian empires. The old city of Kotor is one of the most exquisitely preserved medieval centres in the Mediterranean. Its signature city walls were constructed in the 12th century to give protection against marauders. Amongst the characteristic narrow alleyways are a number of impressive monuments, including the Cathedral of St. Tryphon (1166). Every February the city hosts a famed Venetian carnival. |
