Haj-Nehaj, Medieval fortress ruins near Sutomore, Montenegro
The Haj-Nehaj fortress displays asymmetrical construction on a rock formation, incorporating various architectural elements including Roman tiles and Ottoman towers throughout its structure.
The Republic of Venice constructed this fortress in the 15th century as a defensive structure, which later fell under Turkish control in 1571 and remained so until 1877.
The fortress name originates from the combination of Haj hill and Nehaj, first appearing on a Venetian engraving from 1550 as Nechagia.
Visitors can reach the fortress by turning off the Adriatic Highway before Sutomore, parking at Fleur of Orange Hotel, and following a 30-minute uphill path.
The fortress contained capacity for 900 people during attacks, despite typically maintaining only three permanent guards: two soldiers and one gunner.
Founders: Republic of Venice
