Monuments to visit Herceg Novi (Херцег Нови)

Located at the bottom of the city, this impressive ^15th century fortress stands proudly above the city. Having passed through the hands of the Turks, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians, it is a period relic of Bosnian rule. Founded by the Bosnian king Tvrtko, it was damaged by the earthquake of 1979 and then rebuilt. It was used as a summer cinema, a disco and is often used as a film location.

Located in the heart of the old town, this small clock tower crowned with machicolations is Herceg Novi's visual symbol and best-known building. It was erected in the ^mid-19th century on the site of an earlier tower built in 1667, twenty years before the Turks left. The Sat-Kula is a monument to the Turkish era. Walk past it and you'll find the church square and some very pleasant cafés. A good idea for a stroll.

Fortress with an evocative name, "the bloody tower" was built by the Turks. It had a dual purpose as it served as both a defensive fort and a prison for those who opposed the Turks. You can see drawings and messages from former prisoners. The walk through the narrow streets of the old town is a real historical discovery with a beautiful panorama! In summer, concerts and theatrical performances are organized here.

The fortress is located above the expressway and was erected by the Spaniards during their passage through the city (1538). The Turks, who completed the building in 1548, left an inscription at the entrance: "This tower was erected by the sultans by order of Suliman, the mighty and honourable knight. May he live long, in joy and fortune. May the poets who come by the road see this work and exclaim its beauty. »
