The beauty of Kotor lies in the 4.5 km long and 20 m high ramparts that encircle the old town. Of Byzantine origin, these fortifications helped protect the city from Turkish attacks in the 16th and 17th centuries. The fortress of St John, which dominates the town at an altitude of nearly 260 m, was abandoned in 1918. Now in ruins, it is accessible by more than 1,000 steps. The view offered from the top of its walls is splendid, between the Bay of Kotor and Mount Lovćen.

Par contre, nous y sommes allés un jour pluvieux de novembre (attention bonnes chaussures mais nous n'avons pas glissé une seule fois). Plus on montait, plus il y avait des nuages. Nous ne sommes finalement pas monté tout en haut car on ne voyait plus rien.
Suivant le moment où vous arrivez, il n'y a pas forcement quelqu'un pour vous faire payer (lorsqu'on est redescendu, les gens avaient pu passer sans voir quelqu'un et donc sans payer).
It is for me attraction number 1 of the city, undoubtedly!
Although the ascent is quite harsh, especially in summer when temperatures border the 40°C, but view you up there made forget the authorised efforts!
A must not to be missed!
