Facts about Skadar Lake Fortresses<\/h2>\n
1. Besac Fortress<\/h2>\n
Perched above Virpazar on a hill overlooking the Crmnica plain and Skadar Lake. The plateau covers about 1,200 m\u00b2 with irregular triangular walls following the terrain. Features include defensive towers, a barracks, entrance gate, watch posts, and auxiliary buildings.<\/p>\n
Built by the Ottomans shortly after the fall of Lower Zeta in 1478. Captured and damaged by Montenegrins in the late 17th\u2013early 18th century. Served as a gendarmerie post between World Wars, and as an Italian prison during WWII. Abandoned after the war and damaged further by the 1979 earthquake.<\/p>\n
Constructed of rough-cut stone and lime mortar. Rectangular base with two round corner towers; ground floor with vaulted rooms and an upper floor with cannon openings.<\/p>\n
Restoration and tourism development are ongoing\u2014Besac is open to visitors and is planned as a museum and hospitality site.<\/p>\n2. Grmo\u017eur Fortress<\/h2>\n
Located on a small island near Godinje, Bar municipality. Covers about 430 m\u00b2 with thick walls, gates, and defensive towers adapted to the island\u2019s shape.<\/p>\n
Built by the Ottomans in 1843 to defend against Montenegro. Captured by Montenegrins in 1878, then converted by King Nikola I into a notorious prison for serious criminals and later political prisoners. A famous rule stated: \u201cIf a prisoner escapes, the guard serves his sentence.\u201d Legends tell of one daring escape using a door as a raft. The prison closed in the early 20th century. Earthquakes later damaged the structure.<\/p>\n
Now a romantic ruin, Grmo\u017eur is a favorite boat excursion site, also known for its wildlife and bird habitats.<\/p>\n3. Rijeka Crnojevi\u0107a \u2013 Obod (Rijecki Grad)<\/h2>\n
A fortress above the historic trading village of Rijeka Crnojevi\u0107a.<\/p>\n
Built by Ivan Crnojevi\u0107 around 1475\u20131476 after \u017dabljak Crnojevi\u0107a became threatened by the Ottomans. Obod housed Ivan\u2019s court, the Church of St. Nicholas, and notably, the first printing house of the South Slavs, which produced the Oktoih Prvoglasnik in 1494. Destroyed by the Ottomans by the late 17th century; the church was rebuilt in 1743.<\/p>\n4. Lesendro Fortress<\/h2>\n
Originally an island, now a peninsula near Vranjina due to later land development.<\/p>\n
Built in the 18th century, reinforced by Petar II Petrovi\u0107-Njego\u0161, who often stayed there. In 1843, Ottoman forces under Osman Pasha captured Lesendro and Vranjina during Montenegrin troop movements. Returned to Montenegro after the 1878 Berlin Congress.<\/p>\n
Symbol of Montenegrin resilience\u2014folk sayings recall Njego\u0161\u2019s sorrow at its loss. Controlled fishing and trade routes on the lake.<\/p>\n5. \u017dabljak Crnojevi\u0107a Fortress<\/h2>\n
On a hill near the Mora\u010da River\u2019s mouth into Skadar Lake, overlooking the \u201cMalo Blato\u201d wetlands.<\/p>\n
Likely founded in the 10th century during the Vojislavljevi\u0107 dynasty. Became the seat of the Crnojevi\u0107 family in the 15th century. Captured by the Ottomans in 1478, converted into an administrative and military hub, and its Church of St. George was turned into a mosque. Multiple Montenegrin attempts to retake it (1835, 1852) failed due to Ottoman pressure. Officially incorporated into Montenegro at the 1878 Berlin Congress.<\/p>\n
Walls up to 15 m high and 2 m thick, with six towers and a single gate. Inside were the Crnojevi\u0107 palace, St. George\u2019s Church, barracks, storerooms, and a water cistern.<\/p>\n
Protected as a cultural monument since 1961, but largely neglected\u2014walls are crumbling and tourist infrastructure is minimal.<\/p>\n
