Summer in Kotor will not be built

A completely logical local moratorium on construction in the popular tourist areas of Kotor was introduced during the summer period. The city administration came to a conclusion about the need for such measures, since construction and reconstruction work adversely affect the quality of excursions and simply prevent tourists from visiting local attractions. Although one can not ignore the fact that Kotor is one of the oldest cities in Montenegro, and it is necessary to maintain architectural monuments in a worthy manner. Therefore, some types of work will be carried out, but this must receive a special permit or order of the authorities.

The ban on construction activities in Kotor came into force already on June 15. Its operation extends not to the whole of Kotor, but to the Old Town, Lipats, Kostanica and several other districts. Separate territories of Herceg Novi were subjected to a similar ban.

Recall that the Kotor preserved a whole historical and architectural complex, which is unique in that, although protected by UNESCO, but it is not only a tourist attraction: among the ancient cathedrals, towers and churches live ordinary people, work administrative institutions, cafes and hotels. And from the fortress wall offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Bay of Kotor. It is thanks to this combination that the rest in Kotor attracts so many tourists.

And since in Kotor (and in other similar cities in Montenegro) vacationers are looking for the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, the ban on building using noisy modern technology seems to be a well-considered decision.
