Kastio and Lazaret

Western end of the Petrovac waterfront, by the harbour

Kastio and Lazaret mark part of the Petrovac waterfront by the harbour. In the 16th century the Venetians built a fortress with a garrison and storehouses, while the neighbouring Lazaret served for quarantine. The name Kastel Lastva has remained part of the place's story.

What you will recognise on the waterfront

The remains of the walls, the coastal position and the harbour connect the former defences, trade and control of arrivals by sea. Fit the visit into a walk through the centre rather than planning it as a distant excursion.

Historic space and present-day use

There are also restaurants and bars in this area. Distinguish the historic landmark from a restaurant or bar service; access to individual terraces and spaces is not the same.

How to include it in your day

Come from the promenade, linger in the accessible outdoor area and take in the bay. For an event or entry, check the specific date and time, because a historical description is not a programme calendar.

Walk along the Petrovac promenade

A walk along the town promenade links Petrovac Beach, the restaurants and cafés along the shore and Kastio by the harbour. You can fit it into a short morning or evening break without organising a full-day excursion.

Petrovac harbour: how to plan a boat trip

The Petrovac harbour is at the western end of the waterfront, by Kastio. TO Budva describes it as an area for seasonal docking and mooring. For an excursion, it is important that the organiser confirms the exact place of boarding and return.
