Herceg Novi (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Херцег Нови; pronounced [xěrtseɡ nôʋiː]) is a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It is the administrative center of the Herceg Novi Municipality with around 33,000 inhabitants. Herceg Novi was known as Castelnuovo ("New castle" in Italian) between 1482 and 1797, when it was part of Ottoman Empire and the Albania Veneta of the Republic of Venice. It was a Catholic bishopric and remains a Latin titular see as Novi. Herceg Novi has had a turbulent past, despite being one of the youngest settlements on the Adriatic. A history of varied occupations has created a blend of diverse and picturesque architectural style in the city.

The seafront large monument dedicated to the first King of Bosnia is located on the on the popular pedestrian street (Šetalište Pet Danica), close to the fortress Forte Mare and the city's marina. A member of the House of Kotromanić, he's widely considered one of the country's greatest medieval rulers. Besides, he's the founder of Herceg Novi. Tvrtko I extended medieval Bosnia's borders to their farthest limits, left a strong economy, and improved the living standards of his subjects. Overall, A well made sculpture surrounded by palm trees, a canon and an anchor. Well kept place. Convenient location. Wonderful surroundings. Beautiful views. Close to other sights, restaurants, cafes shops and more. Good spot (any time of the day) for photo ops. Definitely, a popular spot. Well worth a visit.
