Citadel is a city fortress, which contains the remains of the Santa Maria church from the Middle Ages
This bar is located in Old Town. Nice to start the evening with some cocktails. The bar is opened until 01.00 AM.
The first mention of Budva’s citadel was in 1425, but archaeologists believe this was the site of an acropolis in ancient times. The acropolis was traditionally built on the highest point, with sheer cliff below it. From here, a settlement could be defended easily. The citadel has been consistently expanded and upgraded through the various empires that have ruled Budva. The biggest part of the citadel is the wing of barracks, built by the Austro-Hungarians in 1836. Inside the citadel you’ll find a small library and a little museum. You’ll also find the ruins of Santa Maria in Castello Church (12th – 14th centuries). There’s not a lot to see in the citadel, but it’s a good place to grab a cold beer and enjoy the views of the Budva Riviera and Saint Nikola island.
