Fortifications and ramparts to visit Montenegro

Visit to be privileged for the panorama. Located east of the old town of Budva and facing the sea, this citadel offers a nice view of the old town. You will visit an impressive library of books and old maps among which you can find a copy of the old French daily newspaper Le PetitJournal dating from 1912 or a book published in 1576 in Paris on the history of George Castriot Skanderbeg. You will have the opportunity to have a drink or a meal on a terrace with a 360 degree view.

Opened to visitors in 2006, the ramparts encircle part of the town. They allow nice views of the tiled roofs and small gardens nestled between the old houses. The ramparts served as protection for the city from the sea and from the land armies. In 1667, an earthquake destroyed a large part of these walls, which were later rebuilt. A pleasant walk that allows you to immerse yourself in the medieval history of this city.

Offering a beautiful view over the whole city, the Bedem fortress, embedded in the old town, is a still living testimony of the medieval period. Built on this rocky promontory in the ^4th century by the Romans, the fortress was conquered by various invaders, before being destroyed by the Turks in 1705. Its walk along the battlements and its keep are well preserved. Ideal place for medieval art lovers! In summer, various cultural events take place here, including Bedem Fest, a rock and electro music festival.
