Budva Bell, Budva
On the picturesque backdrop of Budva's old town wall, an impressive bronze bell and an anchor are prominently displayed. The bell sits atop a low, reinforced concrete pedestal, gleaming in golden hues with intricate silver embellishments and crosses. Despite its striking appearance, there is no accompanying information board to explain the bell's significance, adding an air of mystery to the monument.
Montenegro, including the town of Budva, has attracted not only tourists but also numerous film crews over the years. Historical films and episodes often find their captivating settings in this region. In the past, during the filming of one such historical movie in the northern part of Budva's Old Town, a giant prop bell and a genuine anchor were brought in as set decorations. These items seamlessly blended into the city's historical ambiance. When filming concluded, the production crew decided to leave behind these remarkable "props" as a token of gratitude for the warm welcome they received from the city.
Today, the bronze sculptures of 'The Old Bell and Anchor' have become beloved landmarks along the city's embankment near the old town walls. They draw the attention of millions of tourists, adding to the charm of Budva's historic landscape.
