Once the ultimate defense of the medieval town of Kotor, the fortress now is a major attraction to climb, rewarding those who reach the top with a magnificent view of the Bay of Kotor.
From below, especially from the other side of the bay, you can see the city walls high above Kotor, reaching up to the top of St John Mountain and St John Castle. The walls actually continue all the way around the old town at sea level. In total, the length of the city walls is 4,5 km, and it has plenty bastions for added strength. Its attraction proved too strong for me, and when the sun was already going down and the worst heat of the day was over, I started hiking up the fortress. A steep beginning allowed for views over the attractive medieval old town of Kotor, and I soon reached the church of our Lady of Remedy. The church itself is closed, but climbing a little higher gives splendid views over the Bay of Kotor with the bell tower of the church in the foreground.
