Kotor is the pearl of the beautiful Kotor Bay

Kotor is located at the deepest point of the Bay of Kotor, the southernmost fjord in Europe. Surrounded by towering limestone mountains such as Lovćen and Orjen, the town is a breathtaking natural landscape. The city of Kotor was built in the 3rd century BC. It is an ancient seaside town that was once ruled by different regimes such as the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Serbia, the Republic of Venice, and the Austrian Empire. Its architectural style is mainly influenced by the Republic of Venice and presents a typical Mediterranean style. Coto's walls, fortresses and old town are the main features of the city. The city wall was built by Italians with stone and bricks between the 9th and 15th centuries. It is 20 meters high, 16.1 meters thick and 4.5 kilometers long. The old city has three gates: the North Gate, the South Gate and the Sea Gate. All of them were built in the Middle Ages. After many repairs and reconstructions, they are still well preserved. The most famous of these is the Sea Gate, Morska vrat, also known as the West Gate, which is located opposite the harbor on the west city wall. It is the main central gate of the old city and most tourists enter and exit from here. The North Gate is the oldest and largest fortress in the Old Town of Kotor. There are also many exquisite churches and palaces, showing the styles and characteristics of different periods such as Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque. Because it has a long history and rich culture. It has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are many churches, museums, squares and restaurants and taverns in the old town. You can visit churches and museums to learn about the culture during the day, and listen to the street music in the square at night. The City Gate was built in the 16th century to commemorate the visit of Russian Tsar Nicholas I, also known as the Tsar's Gate or the Water Gate. You can enjoy the flowing water, wild ducks and mountain views. The South Gate, Gurdić Gate, also known as the Customs Gate, is the only gate leading to the harbor in the Old Town of Kotor and was very important in the Middle Ages. It is very pleasant to listen to music on the towering city walls or to have a meal and chat in a restaurant or pub. In Kotor Bay
