📜 History and background
The history of the Old Town of Kotor is like a fascinating epic, which unfolds against the backdrop of picturesque mountains and a deep bay. The beginnings of settlement in this strategic place go back to Illyrian times, and the first mention of a settlement called Acruvium comes from the 3rd century BC. With the Roman conquests, this region became part of the province of Dalmatia, and Kotor, then known as Cattaro , flourished as an important trading port and strategic defense point.
