The town of Kotor is tucked between a very steep mountain and one of the deepest points of the fjord, which kept it safe from wartime destruction for many centuries. The Old Town is surrounded by a thick protective wall on the bay side and the cliff on the other. There are three entrance gates into Old Town, and as soon as I settled into my sobe (apartment) I went to explore and take in the views.
