Sea Gate

The Sea Gate is the main entrance to Kotor Old Town, constructed in 1555 during Venetian rule. It is easily identifiable by the winged lion of St. Mark, a prominent symbol of Venice, which adorns its walls. Serving as a crucial point of access, the gate is often the first impression visitors have of the city. Due to its location, it can be susceptible to flooding during heavy rainfall, with temporary elevated walkways sometimes erected for passage. The gate provides convenient access to the city's main square and the network of narrow streets within the Old Town, and is a useful landmark for those arriving by cruise ship.
