Two Symposia in October 2016 - Hellevoetsluis EWT; Ulqin/Ulcinj - very different, both successful

European Walled Towns Symposium in Holland and 'INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM KALAJA' in Montenegro.

Hellevoetsluis, Holland was a fortified naval port, and is now re-envisioned as the distinctive residential and commercial centre of a  new town in the Netherlands.

Ulcinj/Ulqin the most southerly walled town and resort in Montenegro. It's fine sunset silhouette was reflected in the Symposium logo, in an autumnal midday sun it seems at peace beside it's resort centre but at dawn it is thrillingly golden.(scroll down) Reports and presentations to follow.
