Behind the city walls, the old town of Kotor has much to offer when it comes to narrow alleys, quiet squares, unexpected encounters; on top of that: several charming churches and history jumping at you from all sides.
We came past the building that once housed the Austrian prison, we saw St Nicholas and St Luka (which was hosting a baptism ceremony) churches as well as St Tryphons Cathedral, all of which centuries old, and the clocktower, before we headed to the North Gate, or River Gate. When we exited the town through the arched gateway, we found ourselves on a bridge over an extremely clear Skurda river. A very nice spot: in the sunshine, with the arched stone bridge leading from modern Kotor right into the old town, with a view over the spires of the churches we had just seen inside rising above the skyline of Kotor we had fallen in love with. When we finally left the old town, we did so through the Sea Gate, or West Gate: the biggest of them all, with a quote from former leader Tito and the date of liberation from the nazis engraved on a big stone. It served to realize again that no matter how lovely Kotor is nowadays, battles have been fought over this very attractive, peaceful town. A sobering thought.
