Description

The Town of Bar evolved out of a castle which was rebuilt during the Reign of Justinian. Bar was the center of the increasingly Slavic principality of Zeta and became the part of the Serbian realm in the 12th century. Šufflay described the town as well fortified and home to monuments analogous to those in Ravenna, Ragusa and Zara (AA I, 50 (11); VĆ ŽSN., 32 - civitati namque ... Avarorum.; gradь slav'ny Barь).
