Fortress with an amazing view

We visited the other day Fort Goraza, a fortification near Kotor in Montenegro. It was built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire between 1884–86 on top of an earlier structure. The fort was used by the Austrians during the First World War in artillery duels against the Montenegrin army. The Montenegrins were unable to destroy it and were pushed out of artillery range by an Austrian offensive. It was used as a depot by the Yugoslav Army until early 1990s. It was subsequently abandoned and can be visited by the public. The fort is situated in a very attractive place with an amazing view. It was used on several occasions as a film location.
