Las fortificaciones de Kotor (en italiano: Cattaro) son un sistema de defensa histórico que se encargaban de proteger la ciudad medieval de Kotor, Montenegro, con sus murallas, torres, ciudadelas, puertas, bastiones, fuertes, cisternas y un castillo. Incorporan arquitectura militar de Iliria, el Imperio Bizantino, la República de Venecia y el Imperio Austríaco. Junto con el casco histórico, forma parte de la declaración de Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco de 1979 Comarca natural, cultural e histórica de Kotor, destacando significativamente en Montenegro.
La cima de la montaña de San Juan ya estaba fortificada durante la época de los ilirios. En el siglo VI, el emperador Justiniano reconstruyó la fortaleza. Tras el abandono de los bizantinos, y a pesar de numerosas incursiones, la región consiguió cierta independencia y las fortificaciones no sufrieron daños. Esta situación cambió cuando, en 1420, la entonces República de Cattaro cayó bajo dominio veneciano y, como parte de la Albania veneciana, las fortificaciones adquirieron su estructura actual. En esta época se produjeron dos asedios otomanos que acabaron por ocupar la ciudad entre 1538 y 1571, y entre 1657 y 1699. En 1797 las fortificaciones pasaron a manos de la monarquía Habsburgo tras el Tratado de Campo Formio.
One of the things you should visit once in a lifetime. Amazing what they built there and amazing view of the bay from up there. If you are going uphill to the fortress in high season I will recommend to start climbing early in the morning and bring water with you, otherwise the heat of the day will get you :-)

The old historical town of Kotor, a pretty old and well maintained Venetian castle. Popular tourist destination, with many entertainment options (e.g. music events, bar, restaurants, cafe e.t.c). Picturesque scenery walking through the paths of the town as well as around the walls. Absolutely worth visiting.

Kotor blew my mind. At the end of a fiord, an incredibly well preserved walled city. Unbelievable!

Really interesting place to visit in Montenegro. All the little alley ways, hidden gems, small cafes and restaurants and some fantastic old churches are all inside and great to get lost in while visiting.

Didn't actual enter the building. But it is set in a stunning location.

Pretty tower you should visit. Though the old city part is not big but you should spend time walking up to get the whole view of the place. It is very pretty; however beware of the crowd esp when there are cruises. Some got pickpocket here. If you pan to walk up the wall, ensure you have around 2 hours so you can appreciate the whole thing.

Interesting wall, would have loved to walk to forest but I feel you need a good 2 hours. The lower walls gave some nice views of harbour
