Fort Royal, Military fortress on Lokrum Island, Croatia.
Fort Royal stands at the highest point of Lokrum Island, reaching 96 meters above sea level with strong defensive walls and watchtowers.
French military forces constructed Fort Royal in 1806 during their occupation of the region, with Austria completing additional fortifications in 1835.
The fortress forms part of a broader network of military structures that protected Dubrovnik and its maritime trade routes through centuries.
Visitors reach Fort Royal by taking a 15-minute ferry from Dubrovnik Old City port to Lokrum Island, followed by a walking path to the summit.
The fortress grounds contain a permanent exhibition about the Game of Thrones television series, which used Lokrum Island as a filming location.
