Forte Rose, Montenegro
From series “Famous Abandoned Military Bases and Forts”Year: 17th century.
Those who want to hike through the really deserted and hidden military facilities can travel to Montenegro and visit the suburb of Herceg Novi. In the western part of the Lustica peninsula there are ancient Forts Roses, which until recently remained outside the attention of tourists. Drowning in thickets of wild trees and plants, the ruins of old military buildings look simply amazing. Lovers of history in Montenegro will hardly find a better place to relax.
The fortifications, the ruins of which can be seen today, were erected by the Turks in the 17th century. In addition to the fragments of the fortifications, one can also see elements of the old railroad. On the coast, the ruins of the old port have been preserved. In the first half of the 20th century, the Italians completely destroyed and rebuilt most of the fortifications built by the Turks. Some parts of the fort have been preserved very well up to our days. The main building of the fort was built of durable stone and supplemented with metal fittings.
