Medieval architecture and numerous monuments of cultural heritage have made Kotor an UNESCO listed “World Natural and Historical Heritage Site”. The entrance of the city is in 3 different old gates,
Kotor’s Main Gate is the largest and probably the most beautiful of the city’s three gates. Dating from the 16th Century, this gate was erected during the time of Bernardo Renier.

Further we pass by the Drago Palace, This palace was first erected in the 14th Century, but had to be renovated twice after earthquakes in 1667 and 1979. Decorated with dragons, the palace remains a good example of Gothic architecture. Nowadays, it houses the Regional Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments.

The names of both mountains are akin to their winter spirit—they always wear snow in the winter months and plenty of it. The cleanest river in Europe, Tara (called the Tear of Europe!) flows north from here, towards Pljevlja and Šćepan polje. Right where it merges with Piva river, Tara has carved out a beautiful canyon, perfect for rafting and other extreme sports.
