Herceg Novi Montenegro

Herceg Novi is a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It is the administrative center of the Herceg Novi Municipality. Herceg Novi was known as Castelnuovo between 1420 and 1797 when it was part of the Albania Veneta of the Republic of Venice. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • The Herceg Novi old town. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. There are both Orthodox and Catholic churches that are well worth visiting. • The Kanli Kula fortress dominating the old town doubles as an open-air theatre and is worth visiting mainly for the splendid views of the town and the Kotor bay (entrance fee as of August 2012: 1 euro) • The Spanjola fortress located higher up the mountain (170 meters above see level) dates back to 16th century. Take a small street going upwards across from the Kanli Kula fortress. • The Savina monastery, approximately 2 km east from the city center has three beautiful Orthodox churches and splendid views of the bay.
