Montenegro Fortress Gorazda, Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

Originally built in the 1880s, the fort has been disused since the early 1990s. The location provides views of Tivat and the Bay of Kotor, which could be why it served as the placement for a 100-ton canon in its earlier years. The guns have now gone but there are iron domes where they were situated, the largest is several metres across.

Cable cars pass overhead nearby.

Take a tripod for shots of the interior and don’t be put off by the bats.

Driving from Kotor or Tivat is the easiest way to get here. The is plenty of parking space and you might find you have the whole place to yourself.
