The Budva Citadel

On a rocky peninsula at the southernmost point of Budva Citadel, is where the Old Town of Budva is located. Before the Greeks colonized the Adriatic, there may have been an Illyrian town in the location of the Old Town, according to archeological findings. The majority of the city walls and structures were built during the Venetian era, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the Roman era.

The fortified city had gates on each of its four original corners. Seaward-facing gates, however, were eventually closed. Porta di Terra Ferma, the great entrance to the city from the west, is the primary city gate. Additionally, there are four more gates on the north wall and one little gate that faces the Riardova glava beach's southwest.

The Budva Citadel is a striking structure perched on a cliffside with views of the Adriatic Sea's glistening blue seas and golden sands. The fortress was first built in the Middle Ages during the Roman empire and is one of the oldest communities in the Balkans. A complex system of stone walls connects the rustic stone edifice that serves as the main structure to the remainder of the city's defenses with typical Roman precision and attention to detail. Originally built to serve as lookout stations for soldiers.
