Žabljak Crnojevića, Medieval fortress in Cetinje, Montenegro.
The stone fortress sits on a hill at the meeting point of Morača River and Lake Skadar, featuring six towers and walls reaching 15 meters.
The fortress served as the capital of Zeta under the Crnojević dynasty from 1466 until 1478, when Ottoman forces captured it during the Siege of Shkodra.
The fortress contains remnants of Ivan Crnojević's court, the Church of Saint George, military facilities, and a water tank within its fortified walls.
Visitors can reach the fortress via a ten-minute walk on a dirt road from the parking area near the floating restaurant Splav kod Karla.
The fortress maintained only one resident during the early 17th century: the Dizdar Aga, a Turkish official who oversaw the entire complex.
