Island Old Ulcinj
Island Old Ulcinj is located in the northwest part of Ulcinj Riviera near small town Vidikovac. The area of this small island is only 1.7 hectares. Being sited 150 meters from the shore, it is not habitable, has a rocky origin. However, it is fairly well known among tourists, because for a long time it was thought that island was nothing more than remnants of ancient Ulcinj - Venice town Dulсigno sunk after an earthquake.
Modern archaeological studies allow us to say that it was a Venetian tower-guard outpost. Specially built on the outskirts of Ulcinj to warn people of impending danger in advance. This explains the similarity of architectural techniques with Venetian buildings of Dulcigno era.
To get to the island one can only by boat.
