Awesome Experience!
Fort Gorazda is a fortification built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire near Kotor in Montenegro. The current fort was built between 1884–86 and replaced an earlier structure on the same site; its most notable feature is a 100-ton Gruson rotating turret on its roof, the last remaining example of its type.
The thing I love about this fortress is it's not being sold as a tourist destination. No entrance fee, no rules about where you can or can't visit, no concrete parking area - just an old abandoned fortress sitting on a beautiful overlooking hill.
The Austro-Hungarians, during their rule in Montenegro, built many fortresses around the Boka Bay. These forts were their main defensive points in the 19th century. One of the most impressive of them is Gorazda Fort, located on the hill overlooking the bays of Kotor and Tivat.

The fort was used by the Austrians in artillery duels against Montenegrin batteries stationed on Mount Lovćen during the First World War. The Montenegrins were unable to destroy it and were pushed out of range in 1916 by an Austrian offensive. The damage to the fort was repaired and its guns were removed to support the Austrian field army. It was used as a depot by the Yugoslav Army until as recently as the early 1990s. It was subsequently abandoned and can be visited by the public.

Abandoned Ruins of Vrmac Fortress + Vrmac Hike in Bay of Kotor
Deceptively quiet and definitely stunning, Vrmac is a mountain overlooking the coastal towns of Tivat and Kotor. It is a popular destination with locals for hiking, mountain biking and orienteering. But what many people don't know is that it has one of Boka Bay's coolest and creepiest abandoned ruins!
The Vrmac hike itself offers picturesque views of Kotor and Tivat further over the ridge. I found it to be far quieter and less busy than the hike to Kotor Fortress. We hiked during the summer and only saw a few people doing the hike.
At the summit, we found abandoned buildings which were recently used by squatters, as well as an old Austro-Hungarian fortress (Fort Vrmac) which I explored. There was nobody remotely near the Vrmac Fortress, which added to the cool and creepy factor.
About Vrmac Fortress:
Fort Vrmac is one of the best preserved Austro-Hungarian fortresses in Boka Bay and was originally built in 1860. The present structure we are exploring however, was built between 1894 and 1897. Vrmac Fort saw action in WWI and fierce resistance in the form of two rebellions from mounted by the local Krivošije clan who lived on the eastern flanks of Mount Orjen in nearby Risan. The fort was eventually taken over by the Yugoslav army, but was later dismounted before being abandoned.
The fort is in surprisingly good condition and is one of the best-preserved fortifications in the Bay of Kotor.
What to bring:
I recommend you bring a flashlight and waterproof shoes. It is best to go with someone, or at least to tell someone where you are going.
CAUTION:
Whilst this fort can be visited by the public, you must be vigilant and care needs to be taken due to open pits and holes in the floors that exist, and corridors where there is nothing visible. The 2nd floor also has some rooms with rotting wood on the floor, so it is best to avoid walking on it.
