After passing through Kotor’s main gate, you enter Trg od Oružja or Arms Square. On the right is the Ducal Palace. This Renaissance building was originally the residence for the Venetian Provost. It was also a warehouse for munitions which is how the plaza got its name. Today, the lower level is filled with shops, a restaurant and part of the Hotel Cattaro. On the left was the Tower of the City Guard from the 13th until the 20th century.
