Що подивитися в Герцег-Новому

Herceg Novi Municipality Must-Sees

Herceg Novi’s strategic position at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor is defined by its extensive defensive architecture, from the 14th-century Forte Mare to the Ottoman-built Kanli Kula and the Spanish-built Španjola fortress. This selection features prominent Austro-Hungarian maritime forts like Mamula and Arza, alongside the Baroque Crkva Svetog Jeronima. Natural highlights include the pebble shores of Žanjice and Almara beach, while local heritage is represented by the historic Matkovića stone bridge and regional dining at Tri Lipe.
