Geschiedenis

Hoe het ontstond

One of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic — some 2,500 years old — Budva's old town carries Illyrian, Greek, Roman and Venetian layers within its medieval walls, most of them from the long Venetian rule (1442–1797) that raised its ramparts and shaped its palaces and squares, and was faithfully rebuilt to its original form after the 1979 earthquake.
