Kastio Castle

This guide to Kastio Castle in Petrovac, on the Budva Riviera, follows the money behind a small Venetian fort built to keep pirates off the bay. It opens on a night in the sixteen-fifties, with a garrison, a raised iron bridge and cellars full of more than weapons. Along the way you'll meet the families who held the command and the sailors kept waiting in quarantine. Best heard on the upper terrace, looking along the old stone ranges.
