Pirlitor, Medieval fort at Mount Durmitor, Montenegro.
The fortress stands at an altitude of 1450 meters, positioned at the edge of the Tara River canyon near the town of Žabljak.
The fortress supervised the medieval road connecting Nikšić and Pljevlja, marking a significant passage from Durmitor's Lake Plateau into the canyon below.
Serbian epic poetry connects the fortress to Voivode Momčilo, a character depicted with supernatural strength who owned a mythical winged horse named Jabučilo.
The remaining section of the wall at the highest point of Pirlitor and traces of a dry moat represent the primary archaeological elements for visitors.
The fortress location provides direct views of the Tara River, which carries stones and trees through its waters 16 kilometers from Žabljak.
