12. Cats Museum
4.0 of 5 bubbles323
Speciality Museums
Cats Museum was founded in 2013. It is located in the middle of the Old town of Kotor, in the area of the antique monastery of Our lady of Angels, which belonged to the nuns of Santa Clara. This area, currently open to the public, used to be an antique refectory, unfortunately unrecognizable due to numerous reconstructions which followed after the abolition of the religious community. The biggest part of the Museum's collection comes from Venice, more precisely from the fund of the International Centre for Adopting Cats "Badoer" enriched by the substantial donation from countess Francesca Montereale di Mantica. The exhibition contains engravings (XVI-XIX c), antique books (XVI-XIX c), coins, medals (XIX -XX c), illustrated postcards (1891-1950), greeting cards, old photographs, cinematographic posters, sheet music, records, old advertisements, various objects, stamps, etc. One big section is dedicated to the Cat exhibitions before the First World War as well as to the children through the most common school items: notebooks, infant books, etc. The museum's goal is that, through the cat as the most common pet, the public gets a message of respect for the environment and the nature, each day more and more threatened by men. On request, The Museum organizes traveling exhibitions in various European countries and within its possibilities constantly buys pieces that can enrich its collection. Furthermore, the museum is available to host exhibitions featuring the works of contemporary artists who are interested to organize their art events in Kotor. A certain percentage from its income is spent on buying food for the street cats.

    Beautiful Old Town
    Beautiful town with its ancient architecture, alleys and churches. It had many restaurants, shops and bars. In the midst of an amazing beautiful scenery of the river and the mountains. Highly recommend it.

    Kotor
    Kotor is a very beautiful city. We were in the old city. There are many cozy cafes and souvenir shops. Local residents also live in the old town. We visited the famous Kats of Kotor store and the old Catholic Church museum

    Kotor’s Historic Fortress
    I’ve seen my fair share of ancient city walls in my years of traveling, and Kotor’s walls surely rank up there, scoring particularly high marks for their modest size yet big charm. You can climb to the top of the walls in a few places, but doing so is not compatible with a wheelchair. The best ways to appreciate the walls are to view them aerially from the mountainside or to enter the old town through the iconic Sea Gate.

    Beautiful overlook over Kotor and the Bay
    There are multiple views out over the Kotor as you climb the Serpentine; I think this is the highest of them, although it's not completely clear which location they mean. In any event, the entire road is scenic and well worth the drive. Be aware that they're not kidding that it's "serpentine" with a bunch of switchbacks. The road is narrow and difficult to pass, so if you have your own car make sure the driver is experienced. But given that, this is most definitely worth driving up to. I recommend early morning or towards sunset for views and less traffic.
