Kotor is a coastal town located in the Bay of Kotor, in southwestern Montenegro. It is situated in the Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor), the deepest natural fjord in the Mediterranean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, including the 12th-century Kotor Cathedral and the Church of St. Luke.

Kotor has a rich history, dating back to the Roman era, and it was a part of the Republic of Venice from the 15th to the 18th century. During this period, the town grew and flourished, and its architecture reflects the influence of the Venetian Republic. In the 19th century, Kotor was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it was later incorporated into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after World War II.

Visitors to Kotor can take a stroll through the narrow, winding streets of the old town and admire the well-preserved buildings with their pastel-colored facades. The town's defensive walls, built in the Middle Ages, also offer stunning views over the Bay of Kotor. There are several museums and galleries in Kotor, as well as several beaches and scenic hiking trails in the surrounding area.
