Kanli Kula, Ottoman fortress in Herceg Novi, Montenegro
The fortress consists of irregular dimensions measuring 70 by 60 meters, featuring thick stone walls and corner towers overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Built by Ottoman forces in 1539, the structure changed hands between Turkish, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian rulers, each adding their architectural elements.
The structure contains numerous wall drawings depicting galleys, crosses, dates, and coats of arms, providing insights into different historical periods.
The entrance fee is 4 euros per person, with cash-only payment accepted during operating hours from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM in summer.
The fortress features a preserved water cistern that later became a prison cell, where inmates carved intricate details into the stone walls.
