This guide to the Square of Arms in Kotor starts at the Sea Gate, under a Yugoslav slogan carved beside the date of the town's liberation in nineteen forty-four, and turns to a slower contest between stone and water. You'll hear what the square was built to receive when the Venetians ran it, and why the shoreline matters to a gate raised in fifteen fifty-five. Best heard standing just inside the gate, with the clock tower in front of you.
