It will sound incredible to you – in every fortress of Boka, including Šanik, at the end ofthe 19th century, there were all the conditions for the uninterrupted flow of life. On the ground floor of the building, there are still cistern and storage rooms; there were rooms for recruits, a kitchen and bathrooms on the first floor; on the second, there were officers and signalers. Soldiers, stationed at this remote point, endeavored to maintain habits from home during their three-year service. Here you see them during prayer in the open field.
