Situated on a hill named San Giovanni, this fortress is a masterpiece of architectural design, developed over a millennium from the 9th to the 19th century. Its walls, reaching up to 20 meters in height and stretching over 4.5 kilometers, are a major reason why Kotor has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1797.

Fort Vrmac is Austro-Hungarian fortification located near Tivat, Montenegro, on the Vrmac ridge. Established in 1860, the current structure was built between 1894 and 1897. Today, Fort Vrmac stands as one of the best-preserved Austro-Hungarian fortifications in the Bay of Kotor region.
Fort Gorazda
  • 2h
Fort Gorazda, built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire near Kotor, between 1884 and 1886, features a unique 100-ton Gruson rotating turret, the last of its kind. During World War I, the fort engaged in artillery duels with Montenegrin batteries on Mount Lovćen but remained intact after an Austrian offensive in 1916. Used as a Yugoslav Army depot until the early 1990s, Fort Gorazda is now abandoned and open to public visits.
