The city walls are part of an integrated historical fortification system that protects the medieval city of Kotor. Today, the walls are still strong and are a true testament to the hard work and structural brilliance of the Kotor people. Despite natural disasters, battles, permanent rulers, and centuries of erosion, the city walls of Kotor are still impressively intact. At night, the walls are illuminated, displaying the magnificent facade that shines above the old city. During the day, the walls blend with the gray mountain rocks behind, concealing the ramparts as part of the steep cliffs. No matter what time you see it, the walls are truly a wonderful breathtaking example of nature and man. And the best way to fully appreciate this beauty is to climb to the top.
