The scenic old walled town of Ulcinj, was founded in the 5th century BC by the Colchinians. Several centuries later the town was captured by the Romans and was afforded special priviledges and independent status under Roman law.
Ulcinj's beauty, location, and climate, has long been coveted by Adriatic region conquerors, and beyond. Justilian the Byzantine Emperor captured and fortified it, as did the Nemanjic's, the Balsic's, the Venetians and the Turks. Ulcinj's capture in 1183 by the Serbian ruler Stefan Nemanja, confirmed the city's role as one of the most important settlements on the coast.
