The town and riviera of Herceg Novi    

At the Bay’s entrance, below the mountain of Orjen (1895 m) lays the ancient town of Herceg Novi founded in the 14th century as the proud guard of Boka Bay. Numerous layers of history are visible through the interlacing of cultural influences and architectural styles of the Roman, Byzantine, Spanish, Venetian, Ottoman, French and Austro-Hungarian Empires and in the open spirit of town’s inhabitants. The Yugoslav Nobel Prize winner and a great admirer of the town Ivo Andric once wrote that Herceg Novi is "a town of eternal greenery, sun and stairs". Indeed, by the end of January the air of Herceg Novi is filled with the subtle fragrance of yellow and green mimosas. A town of great medieval heritage, Herceg Novi is also known by its ancient name, Castel Nuovo, so-called due to the ancient towers and fortresses of Sahat kula, Forte Mare Fortress, Španjola and the Kanli Tower. These are important cultural and historical monuments not to be missed.
