Spuž Fortress – Where History Defied Time and Freedom Was Forged

Built in 1704 by Ottoman commander Hodaverdi Pasha, this fortress once had 24 towers watching over the south and east. It was more than just a military base – it was a symbol of control and a challenge to Montenegrin resistance. Battles were fought here, and legends say that local warriors once knocked a cannon off one of the towers, striking a powerful blow against their enemies.

As you explore its weathered walls and climb the remains of ancient staircases, you’ll uncover hidden passageways, stone chambers, and panoramic views stretching across the valley and distant mountains. Even in ruins, the fortress echoes with stories of bravery and defiance.
