Austro-Hungarian Fortifications of Montenegro
These superb fortresses, in outstandingly beautiful locations, and linked by exquisitely built stone pathways, are an important part of the history of the Austro-Hungarian empire and defended one of its boundaries. They were built to protect its greatest naval base, the safe anchorage of the Boka Kotorska in Montenegro. These great archeological relics are all under severe threat of destruction due to abandonment and the effects of previous earthquakes. They are part of Montenegro's great historical heritage and should be protected.
