About Kotor
Kotor is a walled medieval town at the head of a winding bay in Montenegro, with mountain walls, Venetian palaces and a fortress high above.
Kotor lies at the end of the Bay of Kotor, a deep, winding inlet often described as a fjord, though it is really a drowned river canyon, with steep mountains rising directly from the water. The old town, a UNESCO site, is enclosed by Venetian-era walls and entered by the Sea Gate, and inside are small squares, a clock tower and the Romanesque cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166.
