Vrmac Fortress, Kotor, Montenegro - Historic Forts on Waymarking.com

I found this fortress while walking on a hiking trail which departs from the nearby town of Kotor. The fortress is currently abandoned and it can therefore be thoroughly explored.

Kotor, then Cattaro, was a part of the Dalmatian province of the Austrian, and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until the end of WWI. It was an important naval port with strong fortifications.

In the ground floor there are basically dormitories and storage rooms; then, on the first floor, the gun emplacements. I don't know what kind of guns used to be there but I counted 6 or 7 emplacements, with some plates from Skoda factories. Last floor, which is basically an attic, has several machine-guns emplacements and an exit to the roof. All of this is in perfect conditions and can be explored, as I said.

There are rumors that the whole place was bought but so far no word regarding future plans.
