Ancient Montenegro Cities and Fortresses You Must Visit

The shielded Gorazda fortress is an integral part of the Boka Kotorska Fortress, which during the Austro-Hungarian government in 114, protected the territory of the Monarchy from attacks from the sea and the region of Montenegro.

Gorazda fortress, as part of the coastal fortress, was capable to offer independent livelihood and defense. It contained observatories, warehouses, elevators for ammunition delivery, mechanisms for starting cannons, wire fences, and protective trenches. It is built of finely carved stone and had access via a chain bridge. 

On the entry, we can still recognize the rooms used by the soldier. Signature on the wall, engraved date, abandoned guard post – witness moments spent in this fort away from family in war conditions. This stone evidence of the past is located on a hill above the Trojica path, near Kotor and Tivat, so after sightseeing, you can visit these cities.
