​It was only after 1900 that the market moved to its current location outside the city, positioned between  the Valier Bastion on the western ramparts, to the right of the main city gate , named after the Venetian providor  Dolphin Valier ( 1560-1653  ) and to the right of the Corner Bastion market , named after the Venetian providor  Zorzi Corner  (1663-1763). 1665). In 1901, the municipality of Kotor intended to buy the space between the aforementioned Valier and Corner Bastions from the then Austrian military administration and to place a market in this area, which was realized from 1905 to 1907 .
