Dobrota lace is a type of lace originating from Dobrota, a settlement in the Bay of Kotor, in the immediate vicinity of Kotor. It is unique in the way it is made and recognized as such in the world's scientific and cultural circles. The skill of making Dobrot lace was passed down through the generations, from the 12th to the 20th century.
This lace in Dobrot comes from Venice via Dalmatia. In 2013, this skill was declared the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Montenegro.
