History
Kotor’s Old Town grew as a fortified port influenced by Byzantine, Venetian, and later Austro-Hungarian rule; many of its churches and palaces date to the medieval and early modern maritime era.
Conservation
The Old Town manages heavy tourism by restricting vehicle access and encouraging guided visits; visitors are asked to respect fragile stonework and minimize noise and waste.
