The medieval castle of the town of Budva, dedicated to St. Mary, better known as Citadela, is the most monumental architectural object within the town walls of Budva.
This complex building is architecturally utterly autonomous and presents one of the most significant fortification objects dating from the Middle Ages on the Montenegro Coast. Within the complex there are fortification walls, remains of the medieval church of St. Mary, gates, several plateaus, and buildings of the former barracks. The restaurant located on the first floor presents with its ambiance and private dining areas an ideal place for private gatherings including high-quality cuisine and special service. Attached to the restaurant there is a spacious terrace on the eastern tower with a stunning view of Sveti Nikola Island and the open sea. On the same level, on the western side of the fortress, there is a steakhouse. Citadel contains one of the most valuable collections of books and maps dedicated to the Balkans, in private ownership. Among the exhibits, there is a significant number of unique books and very rare examples of hand-painted historical maps. In functional unity with the library, there is a spacious Gallery. During the tourist season, Imobilia, within its program, organizes fine art exhibitions, concerts, and projects of museum presentations. The space of Citadela is also available for the projects of the Budva festival, Grad Teatar (Budva, Theatre City), one of the most prestigious theatre institutions in the area of the Balkans.
