Montenegro Guidebook
MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

The Book Heritage Themes of Boka Kotorska Is a Se- Lection of Scholarly Papers, Essays and Reviews by Vinicje B
Summary The book Heritage Themes of Boka kotorska is a se- lection of scholarly papers, essays and reviews by Vinicje B. Lupis, who for two decades has been systematically involved in research into the cultural heritage of Boka kotorska and of the indigenous Croatian community living in neighbouring Montenegro. The book encom- passes a selection of topics from history, art history, ar- chitecture, literature and the study of reliquaries. In the chapter “The Cult and Veneration of the Petilovrijenci in Dubrovnik and Kotor”, the author studies the cult of the Boka kotorska martyrs SS. Peter, Andrew and Lawrence, called in Dubrovnik the Petilovrijenci, which he follows from its beginnings. The cult of the sainted brothers the Petilovrijenci is a unique hagiographic and cultural phe- nomenon of the Middle Ages in Dubrovnik and Kotor. In the chapter “Marin de Gosti – donor of two relics to Kotor Cathedral during the first half of the 14th centu- ry”, especial attention is devoted to a reconstruction of the noble Kotor family de Gosti of the 14th century and the art of goldsmithing in medieval Kotor. Pursuant to an examination of the treasury of the Cathedral of St Tryphon (Tripun) and an overview of the published no- tarial records of the Kotor chancellery, the author has established a connection between Kotor aristocrat Ma- rin de Gosti, son of Junius, and two reliquaries with the signature and coat of arms of the donor. Goldsmithing, particularly goldsmithing for religious purposes, has never been systematically studied in any integrated in- terdisciplinary research, and so the author has also studied a previously unknown component of goldsmith- ing in Bar.

Day 1: Arrival to Base in Kotor
DAY 1: ARRIVAL TO BASE IN KOTOR Check-in in Kotor. Sailing boats are based at the town marina in front of the old town. After strolling Kotor’s old town, you should have warmed up enough for a walk up to the Castle of San Giovanni or Castle of St John for an amazing view of the fjord and a fabulous birds-eye-view of the Old Town of Kotor, Montenegro. There is a lot to see in the old city and a lot to learn about the European History as Kotor played an important role in numerous empires and therefore has a rich and diversified heritage. The splendid city wall, narrow streets, tiny squares and the Mediterranean mood make Kotor one of the most memorable stopovers in the Adriatic Sea. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It encompasses the old town of Kotor (Italian Cattaro), the fortifications of Kotor, and the surrounding region of the inner Bay of Kotor. Montenegro boasts unspoiled beauty, an abundance of nature and clean, clear waters. Still a relatively undiscovered gem where eastern Europe meets west, the country's 295km coastline has countless uninhabited islands, secret coves and charming harbors alongside unique historical sites – reminders of the country’s grand past. 1 DAY 2: PERAST AND ISLETS ST.GEORGE AND OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS Sail to Perast for lunch It is situated northwest of Kotor (Kotor-Perast 6NM). Near Perast there are two islets: one is called Sveti Đorđe (St. George) and the other Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks), and each has a picturesque chapel.
