Description

The medieval Ulcinj was the relocated successor to the roman Ulcinium, although it is not known when or why the town was relocated further south. Despite the relocation of the town, the old akropolis was still inhabited and part of the towns defensive structures. Other parts of the Walls were the "torre delle Madona" and the bastion S. Domenico. The Venetians renovated the town in 1429 and after an earthquake in 1444. The Walls war still called ancient in 1553 (FŠ LPD., 306; Vm Lj., 54; VĐ ŽSN., 31 - Ecaterum, Dulcignum; grad(ь) Lьcinь).
