The entire town is encircled with defensive stone walls. The fortifications of Budva are typical of the Medieval walled cities of the Adriatic, complete with towers, embrasures, fortified city gates and a citadel. A large public square is located to the north of the citadel, containing all of the churches of the old town St. Ivan church (17th century), Santa Maria in Punta (840 AD), and The Holy Trinity church (1804).
