Old Town of Budva

This guide to the Old Town of Budva follows Nikollë Zaharia, the Albanian noble who took charge of the town's fortress in the autumn of 1364, just after ships from Kotor had laid siege to it. It is a story of salt, rival ports and the councillors of Ragusa who needed a friend on this stretch of coast. Best heard from the sea walls, where the Adriatic still slaps against the stone.
