Budva is a town in Montenegro on the Adriatic coast. The history of the city dates back to ancient times. According to a local legend, the town was founded by Cadmus, a Phoenician who was exiled in Thebes and after leaving it he and his wife Harmonia found shelter here. The Roman Empire had the greatest influence on the city, and after the division of the Eastern and Western borders, the city passed into the region of Budva.

During the Middle Ages, Budva was successively part of Dukla, Zeta, Raška and Venice, which ruled the city for nearly 300 years. For a very short period from 1002 to 1018 it was within the Bulgarian kingdom. After the end of the Venetian Republic, Budva was within the Austrian Empire, Napoleonic France and later back to the Austrian Empire. After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the city fell into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Currently Budva is part of Montenegro and is one of the most famous Montenegrin resorts.
