Kotor's Old Town

After Cetinje, our bus took us back to the old town of Kotor; we had a quick tour there before we returned to our ship. Mike posed in front of the main gate, or the "sea gate", which dates back to the 16th century. We also snapped a picture of the the sign in front of the "Cats of Kotor" shop (kitties are everywhere in Kotor), the Square of Arms (city's largest square, named during the Venetian period for the arsenal building located on the square), the Cathedral of St. Tryphon, and the church of St. Luke. St. Luke's was built in 1195 and is one of the few buildings that survived multiple damaging earthquakes unscathed. The last picture is representative of the walkways common within Kotor's old city walls.Leggi altro
