The Old town of Bar is the largest urban agglomeration in ruins in Montenegro. It is the witness of tumultuous historical events and medieval civilisations. It is 4 km from the present-day city of Bar. It is located on a large rock and protected by cliffs on three sides. Along the western side it is protected by ramparts.
The ruins of 240 buildings can be found in the city, with narrow winding streets and asymmetrical squares. Structures were made of hewn stone, with one or more floors.
Several attractive sightseeing structures, such as Turkish baths, a powder magazine and a clock tower (that dates from 1753) were constructed during the period of Turkish rule, as well as an aqueduct from the 17th century, which was used for supplying water to the Old Town of Bar.
There are also several ruins of church structures, that date from the Middle Ages, such as St. Teodora’s Church (later, St. Đorđe’s Church), St. Nikola’s Church (later, St. Marko’s Church), St. Veneranda’s Church and St. Katarina’s Church, in the city.
The position of the Old Town of Bar provides visitors with the opportunity of enjoying watching the panorama of the green plain of Bar, the new part of the town, the harbour, open sea and the Mount Rumija massif.
A special attraction of the Old Town of Bar is the market place (in the local language called “pjaca”), where salesmen dressed in traditional costumes offer customers domestic products, such as citrus fruits, olives, olive oil made in Bar, cheese and various handicraft products.

It was constructed of broken and roughly hewn stone. 
The hydro-archeological locality of Bigovica is located in the vicinity of the Port of Bar. It is a natural cove, which was used as a winter harbour from the 3rd century B.C. to the 16th century A.D., since it is protected from the north-westerly wind (storm) and partially from the southerly wind. Ruins of an ancient shipwreck from the 4th century were found in this locality, as well as archaeological finds of numerous amphora remains and other archaeological material that dates from the 17th century.
The Church of St. Tekla is located west of Sutomore, one kilometre from the sea. It was built in the 14th century. It has two altars: the Orthodox one is in the altar apse and the Catholic altar is by the south wall.
