Budva City Walls, Budva (must see)
The Budva City Walls, also known as the Budva Ramparts or Budva Fortifications, have witnessed centuries of history. The city walls predominantly exhibit Venetian architectural influences, particularly from the 15th century when Budva was under Venetian rule. The Budva City Walls include a series of fortifications, defensive towers, and gates that once served to protect the town from various threats, including pirate attacks and invading armies.
The Budva City Walls encompass the Old Town of Budva, creating a charming ambiance with narrow cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and a sense of stepping back in time.
Climbing the walls and walking along their paths offers scenic vistas of the Budva Riviera and the picturesque Old Town, making it a popular spot for both history enthusiasts and tourists seeking breathtaking views. Narrow passageways and staircases line the fortress walls throughout the Old Town of Budva. One of these entrances to the fortress can be found near the gate opposite the Avala Hotel. To access it, visitors simply need to enter the Old Town, make an immediate left turn, and pass through the summer terrace of the Mozart restaurant.
The fortress wall takes on the shape of a horseshoe, which means that it doesn't completely encircle the Old Town, preventing visitors from making a full circle. Nevertheless, exploring these fortifications offers ample opportunities to admire the intricate brickwork, ancient loopholes, and breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, imposing cliffs, the stunning natural beauty of Montenegro, and the coastal settlements.
