Fort Kosmač

This audio guide to Fort Kosmač above Budva goes back to the autumn of 1869, when rebels from the surrounding hills besieged the Austrian Empire's southernmost fortress and its commander, Friedrich Merz, held the walls. It also reaches back to the border deal struck by Montenegro's ruler Njegoš that set the fort's builders to work. Best heard standing by the ruined walls, looking down at the old road from Budva to Cetinje.
