Painters, poets, scientist, tourists, they all experienced the Kotor Bay in a different way. Everybody finds motive or inspiration for oneself, experiences it as something special, unusual, prodigious.

And the Bay of Kotor is on the list of World's natural and cultural heritage of UNESCO, and has been accepted in the Club of the most beautiful world bays.

The Region of Kotor, was inscribed on the World Heritage list of UNESCO in 1979.

The German World Heritage Foundation contributed to an international training symposium assisting local professionals with a management plan dealing with the threats to the values  of the site, posed by an uncontrolled urbanisation.

The Bay of Kotor is full  of differences, high mountains and extensive sea, two civilizations, the East and the West.

But all those differences in the Bay of Kotor unify.

It's easier to see the harmony of differences in its historical and cultural heritage, than in the nature pervaded everywhere by strong contrasts.

Remarkable is the presence of many civilizations, cultures,

and styles with prehistoric fossils of iliric, prelatin, latin, gothic, renaissance and baroc epochs.
