<p>Kotor, Montenegro<br />
<br />
The medieval walled city of Kotor is entirely enclosed by defensive stone walls and fortifications, some of which rise far up the mountain slope above the city and away from the bay. The Bay of Kotor is a multi-segmented body of water off the Adriatic Sea. The city of Kotor is located at the tip of the most inland part of that bay. This photo was taken from the wall at the level of the old town and looks upward to high sections of the walls and Fort St. John.</p>

<br />
The small church with a tower part way up is the Church of Our Lady of Remedy, a Roman Catholic church completed in 1518. located in Kotor, Montenegro, belonging to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kotor. The church is perched on the slope of St. John Mountain. It was completed in 1639 in response to the plague that devastated the area in the early 17th century.<br />
The church can only be reached by climbing up stairs with over 650 steps, which is only a fraction of the number of steps to reach Fort St. John.</p>
