Crnogorsko primorje

Muo

The fishing village that owns the view of Kotor — three kilometres of shore, fifty stone berths, and the body of a fisherman Rome calls blessed.

Muo je mirni ribarski grad nanizano uz zapadnu obalu tačno preko puta Kotora, toliko blizu da možete sjediti uz kafu u gotovo potpunoj tišini i posmatrati gomile turista sa krstarica kako se roje oko bedema Starog grada i tvrđave Svetog Ivana sa druge strane vode. Njegovo priobalje je radni niz tradicionalnih kamenih kuća poredanih uz padinu, malih čamaca i ribarskih mreža okačenih da se suše na gvozdenim kukama — neužurban, istinski lokalni prizor koji se generacijama gotovo nije promijenio. Skromna crkva Svetog Nikole drži priobalje, a njen zvonik se ogleda u mirnom jutarnjem zalivu. Nema klasične pješčane plaže; umjesto toga, ravne stijene i mali šljunkoviti zalivčići služe kao mjesta za kupanje koja mještani koriste godinama, sa dubokom i bistrom vodom. Najveće zadovoljstvo Mua je jednostavno biti preko puta Kotora a ne u njemu. Kratka vožnja brodom-taksijem, ili otprilike desetominutna vožnja oko unutrašnjeg zaliva, dovode vas do Starog grada, pri čemu prelaz nudi nezaboravan pogled na osvijetljene gradske zidine i tvrđavu koja se penje uz planinu iza njih. Brodovi-taksiji ovdje obično saobraćaju neformalno, pa je najbolje zaustaviti jedan i pitati skipera kada se vraća posljednji brod. Nekoliko dobrih priobalnih konoba služi svježe ulovljenu ribu i plodove mora gotovo na samoj ivici vode. Muo leži svega nekoliko kilometara od kotorskog Starog grada i oko petnaest minuta od tivatskog aerodroma. Odgovara putnicima koji žele autentičnost i mir nadomak glavnih znamenitosti, koji bi radije posmatrali zaliv sa tihe terase nego se pridružili gomili, i koji cijene da se najbolje od Boke često nalazi u njenim najmanjim, najmanje uglačanim gradovima.

Population change by settlement, 2003 to 2023

Every settlement on this shore lost people in twenty years; Muo lost one in seven. The walled town lost most of all — the 2023 count draws its boundary tighter than 2003 did, so treat that bar as a caution, not a collapse.

Popis stanovništva, opština Muo

Down a seventh in twenty years: 677 people in 2003, 578 in 2023. Fishing built every house on this lane — the villagers paid for their church with a percentage of what the catch sold for — and the rooms above the mula fill in July instead: in the summer months the head count at least doubles.

A fisherman, and the sea he left

Muo is recorded in the ninth century, and by the 1260s the villagers had a parish church of their own, two hundred metres uphill from the water. The oldest document naming the place in the Kotor archive is a notarial deed of 1326, for the sale of a vineyard. What the village is known for happened later, and to one man. Widths are to scale.

U međuvremenu — 1810

The year the fisherman came home

Venice, 10 January 1810: Pavao Krilović of Muo — Brother Gracija to the Augustinians — had been dead three hundred years. He fished here, shipped out as a sailor, heard a friar preach in Venice in the summer of 1468, and never went back to sea.
Muo — Antun Janković, a seafarer from the village, arranged the passage of the body across the Adriatic. It was laid in the old church of Sts Cosmas and Damian, two hundred metres up the slope from the houses.
The village — these were French years on the bay. Under the administration of 1807–1813 Muo held a municipality of its own, and stayed one until 1941; a report by its own municipal head counted 490 people here in 1824.
Today — he lies in a silver sarcophagus in the church the village built by the water in 1864, patron of fishermen, sailors and workers. Leo XIII approved his cult in June 1889; Muo keeps his day on 9 November.

“This custom, once known in other places of the diocese, has survived unbroken to our own day only in Muo — a place proud of its fishing tradition.”

Boka News, on the blessing of the sea

Reported at the parish of Our Lady Help of Christians, where on Pentecost the congregation walks down to the riva and the parish priest dips a wooden crucifix in the sea three times.

“A silver votive in the shape of a palamida, given to the church straight after the Muljani netted a catch of palamida unheard of until then.”

Share Montenegro, “Sav taj bokeljski soul”

A nineteenth-century thank-offering, and the village’s own monument to fishing; palamida is reckoned to match tuna for the quality of its meat.

Često postavljana pitanja o gradu Muo

Gdje se nalazi Muo?

Muo je tačno preko vode od Kotora, na zapadnoj obali najdubljeg dijela zaliva. Do starog grada je oko 2 km putem oko dna zaliva, a cijelo mjesto gleda na kotorske zidine i planinu iza njih.

Kakvo je Muo?

Jedan niz kamenih kuća uz obalu, većina sa svojim stepenicama u more, i gotovo bez tranzitnog saobraćaja. To je ribarsko mjesto koje nikad nije postalo turističko, i ostaje stambeno i u avgustu.

Je li Muo dobro mjesto za boravak?

Spada u bolje izbore oko Kotora: mirno, jeftinije od starog grada, dvadeset pet minuta pješke i s najboljim pogledom na Kotor koji postoji — osvijetljene zidine noću, preko vode, s vlastitog praga.

Može li se u Muu kupati?

Može, s betonskih obala i stepenica uz frontu, a ne s plaže. Voda je duboka i čista, i mještani se ovdje kupaju cijelo ljeto. Sadržaja nema, i to je dio razloga zašto ostaje mirno.

Gdje se jede u Muu?

U nekoliko porodičnih konoba uz obalu, uglavnom ribljih i jeftinijih od onih unutar kotorskih zidina. U sezoni vrijedi rezervisati; neke imaju svega nekoliko stolova na rivi.

Šta je u blizini?

Prčanj je kratka šetnja dalje uz obalu, Kotor je preko vode, a put prema Lovćenu počinje s druge strane zaliva. Barke se mogu iznajmiti na licu mjesta za odlazak do Perasta i Gospe od Škrpjela.

Ima li aerodrom u Muu?

Ne — najbliži je aerodrom Tivat (TIV), 10 km putem.

Kolika je temperatura mora u Muu?

Od oko 13 °C u februaru do 25 °C u avgustu. Iznad 22 °C je od junu do septembru — to je sezona kupanja. Regionalni prosjeci sa stanice Bar, ne mjerenje za sam grad.

Muo – Kotor: koliko je kilometara?

2,1 km putem, oko 4 min vožnje.

Koliko je bezbjedno u Muu?

Britansko Ministarstvo inostranih poslova (FCDO) nema upozorenje protiv putovanja u Crnu Goru; svoje smjernice je posljednji put revidiralo 13. avgusta 2026. To je njihova procjena države u cjelini, ne naša i ne ocjena o ovom gradu, pa je pročitajte sami prije puta. Broj za hitne slučajeve u Crnoj Gori je 112.

Lokalni tanjir

Frigani guljoči — fried rock fish

Guljoči come out of the stone shelters along the shore: dark, slippery, ugly on the slab and first-class in the pan. Older Muljani still bait from the mula late at night and pull the hooks in at dawn, and their wives fry them. No restaurant in the village puts them on a menu.

Gdje A Muo kitchen, if you are lucky enough to be invited into one. The konobas on the riva grill the day’s catch instead.

4North on the boka-shore-road corridor: Prčanj’s Birth of Our Lady church, three kilometres on
5Sunset from the riva, the walls opposite turning gold

Sleep in Muo and spend the day in Kotor — the walls are half an hour along the shore.

The riva

Najbolje za the single waterfront lane: terraces a few metres above the sea, Kotor straight ahead

Above the coast road

Najbolje za the older houses on Vrmac’s foot, up the stepped path towards the old church — quieter, and a climb

The Prčanj end

Najbolje za the north of the shore: further from Kotor’s traffic, on the walking corridor

Škaljari, the Kotor end

Najbolje za where the shore road meets the town — shops, the main road, and the shortest walk to the Sea Gate
