Budva is considered one of the oldest settlements in the
Balkans. The legend, confirmed by Greek mithology, says that
Budva was established by Cadmo, the son of the Phoenician
king Agenon. He was expelled from Thebes and arrived by
ox-drawn car in this area where he started Budva.
 The
old town of Budva lies on a little island that was linked to
the land by a sandbar and in time turned into a peninsula.
It is surrounded by ramparts originating from the XV century
including a medieval fortification system with city gates,
defense walls and towers. Inside the walls the town is a
combination of narrow streets and little squares with
valuable monuments of different Mediterranean cultures that
marked its development:
-
The St. Ivan’s church, VII century, has pictures and icons
by Venetian artists from the XV - XVII century. There is a
library in the church and an archive where valuable examples
of the old church books are kept.
- The Church of St. Mother of God, Mary in punta, was built
by the Benedictines in 840.
- The St. Sava church originated from the period of
Nemanjici in the XIV century. It was first mentioned in 1413
in the Charter of the Zeta’s ruler Balsa III.
- The St. Trinity church is from 1804. There is a grave of
Stjepan Mitrov Ljubisa, a famous writer, in front of the
church. The church is located in the old town in front of
the Citadel.
Today Budva is a center of tourism and a city of theatre,
festivals and celebrations. It is a summer stage for
cultural productions.
Budva
is the most popular seaside resort of Montenegro and is
worthily famous for its sandy beaches and medieval old town.
Budva is one of the oldest towns on the Balkan Peninsula
since it was already referred to in the Greek mythologies.
According to the legend, a certain Cadmo founded the town
after that his father, "Phoenician King Agenon" turned him
out of Thebes.
The old town of Budva was built on an island in the 9th
century. But later the narrow firth that separated the
island from the mainland was silted up in the course of time
and became a peninsula. Budva was under the jurisdiction of
Venice from 1455. The town was destroyed and rebuilt several
times in the past centuries. Its present appearance
developed after the enormous earthquake of 1667.
Budva makes a home for bustling life every summer. Festivals
and concerts entertain the inhabitants and the tourists
there. Budva has the infrastructure that is needed to
welcome foreign guests. Various accommodation facilities are
provided there, from simple guest-houses to hotels. A great
number of restaurants with intimate atmosphere and elegant
shops afford possibilities for relaxation on the coast and
in the old town. Furthermore, long sandy beaches allure the
holidaymakers to stay.
It is a speciality that the old town is separated so much
from the new districts. The winding streets and flag-stony
squares of the old town that is surrounded by a wall still
raise a medieval atmosphere. A chief attraction of the old
town is the St. Ivan church built in the 7th century. The
church makes room for some icons of Venetian artists and a
library storing up curiosities. A special attraction of the
town is the St. Trinity church (built in 1804) since being
used by both the believers of the Eastern Church and the
Catholics too.
