<p>The Old Town, encompassed by its city walls and flanked by the river Skurda on the north, the old harbor on the south, the bay to the west and precipitous mountain walls to the east.  A very formidable location.<br />
<br />
Kotor is included in two UNESCO World Heritage Sites:<br />
<br />
1 – &quot;Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor&quot;.<br />
<br />
2 – The City Walls of Kotor are one of six components - located in today’s Croatia, Italy and Montenegro - of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Venetian Works of Defence of the 15th to 17th Centuries”.<br />

<p>Paseo de la muralla. Me resultó llamativo la cantidad de gente solitaria en esta solitaria zona. En la foto se ven 3, pero éramos unos pocos más todavía, que el paseo era largo.</p>
