Hutovo Fortress, Medieval fortress in Hutovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The pentagon-shaped fortress contains nine towers at each corner, with high walls enclosing a flat interior area for defensive purposes.
Built in 1525, the fortress remained under Ottoman control until 1878, when rebels set fire to the structure during the Herzegovinian uprising.
The Friends of Old Hutovo organization maintains the fortress grounds and organizes local celebrations within its historical walls.
Stone tablets discovered at the fortress site are now exhibited in the Country House museum's lapidary collection in Hutovo.
The fortress walls were specifically designed to enable soldiers with firearms to defend against attacks from multiple angles simultaneously.
