Fort Gorazda, Military fortress near Kotor, Montenegro.
The three-tiered stone and concrete fort stands at 452 meters altitude, featuring two symmetrical wings connected by a circular central structure.
Built between 1884 and 1886 by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the fort replaced an earlier structure and defended against Montenegrin forces during World War I.
The inscription 'Thurmfort Gorazda' above the main entrance reflects the Austro-Hungarian military architectural heritage of the Bay of Kotor region.
The fortress requires private transportation to access, as no public transit serves the location, and visitors should note the narrow mountain roads with sharp turns.
The fort contains the last remaining 100-ton Gruson rotating turret in existence, mounted on its roof for 360-degree artillery coverage.
