FORTERESSE DE STRAČ

Located 750 m above sea level, this now ruined structure (Tvrđava Strač/Тврђава Страч) was the second most powerful fortress in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. Built of reinforced concrete between 1910 and 1916, it was intended to defend the border with the Kingdom of Montenegro - which capitulated in January 1916. Partly underground, it retains four metal domes on its upper part which housed two observation posts and two artillery posts pointed towards the Bay of Kotor. It could accommodate 175 soldiers and four officers.
