The history of Ulcinj has more than a dozen centuries - it is believed that the city was founded in the distant 5th century BC by colonists from Colchis. About the city there are legends, one of which is that in the fortress of the old city the captive Cervantes was held captive, and the name of the heroine of his novel "Don Quixote" Dulcinea originated from the Italian version of the city name.
At the moment in the Old City there are archaeological and ethnographic museums, as well as a hotel complex and restaurants.
In May last year, the authorities of Montenegro decided to start the procedure for making the beautiful Old Town a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Initially, such proposals were expressed by the Society of Friends and Admirers of the Old City of Ulcinj, and only recently they found support among the city authorities initiating the procedure. Now the list consists of more than 1000 objects of both natural and human creation, and gives additional protection and guardianship against any external factors of influence, priority in allocating funds for reconstruction and, finally, increases the prestige and tourist significance of the place.
Despite some remoteness of the city, its popularity in the country grows every year and this is due to Velika Plage, one of the largest sandy beaches in Montenegro and in general in Europe.
