The image depicts the Old Town (Stari Grad) of Budva, Montenegro, during golden hour illumination. In the foreground, a sandy and pebbled beach extends across the bottom, with small waves breaking softly on the shore. A white, crumpled object lies on the sand in the lower center. The midground features a cluster of historic, multi-story stone buildings with reddish-brown tiled roofs, constructed directly at the edge of the Adriatic Sea. These buildings exhibit numerous small, rectangular windows and are strongly illuminated by warm, low-angle sunlight from the left, casting long shadows. Behind and above these structures, larger, rugged stone fortifications, consistent with the Citadel of Budva, are visible, also catching the golden light. A flagpole with a small red flag is positioned atop the highest visible section of these fortifications. To the far left, several palm trees are partially visible behind the buildings. The background on the right presents a dark, rocky headland or large island protruding from the sea, with a smaller rocky islet further out. The sky above is partially cloudy, featuring patches of clear blue sky in the upper right transitioning to more extensive grey and white clouds over the horizon and left side. No individuals or active subjects are present in the scene.
