The old town of Kotor (called historically "Cattaro la Veneziana") is contained within the city walls and a well preserved and restored medieval cityscape with notable buildings including the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon (built in 1166).

Kotor was heavily damaged during the earthquake on April 15, 1979, and this prompted the site to be also listed on the Danger List in 1979 when the site was inscribed.
After significant rehabilitation within the town, the site was taken off this list in 2003.
