Bar Municipality's Unmissable Treasures

Bar Municipality bridges the Adriatic coast and Lake Skadar, characterized by diverse religious architecture and medieval fortifications. The historic core of Stari Bar houses centuries of archaeological remains, while the coastal areas feature the long sandy beaches of Sutomore. In the Skadar Lake region, fortified islets like Lesendro and Grmožur stand as historical sentinels. The area is defined by the Rumija mountain range, which separates the salt-water coast from the fresh-water ecosystems of the interior.
