History of Kotor

JuteVilla
Kotor, first mentioned in 168 BC, was settled during Ancient Roman times, when it was known asAcruvium, Ascrivium, or Ascruvium and was part of the Roman province of Dalmatia.

Kotor (then called "Cattaro") has been fortified since the early Middle Ages, when Emperor Justinianbuilt a fortress above Acruvium in 535, after expelling the Ostrogoths; a second town probably grew up on the heights round it, for Constantine Porphyrogenitus, in the 10th century, alludes to Lower Kotor. The city was plundered by the Saracens in 840
