description |
in the middle ages, this natural harbour on the adriatic coast in montenegro was an important artistic and commercial centre with its own famous schools of masonry and iconography. a large number of the monuments (including four romanesque churches and the town walls) were seriously damaged by the 1979 earthquake but the town has been restored, largely with unesco’s help. |
