Long and rich history

Due to its geographic position at the crossroads of empires, it has been under the rule of many different conquerors who left their own cultural traces – Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Ottomans, Austro Hungarians. While the Venetians had profound influence on Croatian and Montenegrin culture, especially in the coastal area, Ottomans influence can be found on many architectural structures in Bosnia and Albania.
