In the present-day Risan, there are no elements that could connect it to the [[medieval]] town. Risan by the sea was probably just a settlement. However, on the Gradina hill, above the famous archeological site of Carine, a fortification is situated containing remains of an Illyrian acropolis, as well as the medieval and Turkish stratum. The position of the fortification was excellent, particularly for the control of Risan – [[Onogošt]] route, while the hilltop itself was inaccessible.

Today Risan is a small port with roughly 2000 inhabitants (in 1900: around 5000 inhabitants; of them 80% [[Eastern Orthodox|Orthodox Christians]], 20% [[Catholics]]) where logs from the vast virgin forests of the [[Bijela gora]] are shipped mostly to [[Italy]]. Risan is a tourist destination that has a hotel called after its most famous citizen, [[Queen Teuta]], with accompanying fine beaches.

Risan is in the northern section of the [[Municipality of Kotor]]
