    Kotor’s Old Town is not where you watch the sun come up. In mid-September the clock puts sunrise at 6:18, but the rock behind the town climbs past 900 meters inside a couple of kilometers, so direct light does not reach the lanes for roughly two hours after that. The far side of the bay…

    Kotor’s old town sits at the foot of a limestone wall that climbs straight out of the water, and that one fact decides how a wedding day here has to be built. In the third week of September the sun officially comes up at 6:30. It does not land on the flagstones inside the walls…
