This is one of the few fortresses that the Austro-Hungarian army disabled by a deliberate explosion in 1918, during its retreat after the defeat. Time and nature additionally decorated fortress Luštica, so that today it looks more like an abandoned temple from one of the adventure films about Indiana Jones, than a military facility from the First World War. The entrance through the throat of the fortress leads to the interior, quite collapsed and overgrown with impassable vegetation. You will quickly give up research, because there is no easy way to climb one of the floors. But a tour and sightseeing of the fortress surroundings: collapsed monumental and overgrown walls reminiscent of Buddhist temples in the jungles of Cambodia; walking along the stone path towards the machine gun nest and towards the viewpoint Gomile above it; a view from the heights to the open sea – will remain in your long-term memory. On a tourist board near it, you can find out the historical story of the famous sailors’ uprising on Austro-Hungarian ships in the Boka War of 1918.
