The Old Town of Bar is situated at the foot of Mount Rumija, on a steep cliff inaccessible from three sides. It seems that inaccessibility and a spring of drinking water were the reasons why Old Bar was, unlike other town on the coast, built at a distance of 5km from the coast.<\/p>\n
This town, whose inhabitants earned their living from craftwork, trade and olive processing was built through the centuries. The oldest, medieval parts of the town are on a protruding ridge, where the town gate from the 9th-11th centuries with fa\u00e7ades from the 14th century built during Byzantine rule can be found. In the 15th century the Venetians took over rule of the town, and a century later the Turks came and stayed there until the late 19th century.<\/p>\n
Facilities inside the walls were built with dressed stone. Among the public buildings there were palaces, Turkish baths, mills and clock towers. The following religious buildings can be found there:<\/p>\n
– The Church of St. Teodor from the 9th century that was later named the Church of St. Djordje<\/p>\n
– The Church of St. Marko from the 13th century<\/p>\n
– The Church of St. Veneranda from the 14th century<\/p>\n
