Mamula is a formidable circular fortress built in the 1850s by the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the islet of Lastavica. Today, it serves as a museum and tourist attraction, offering visitors a chance to explore its thick stone walls, tunnels, and ramparts. The island setting provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor and surrounding mountains. Exhibits detail the fortress's military history and its later use as a prison. A short boat ride from Herceg Novi makes it a popular day trip.
