On Lastavica Island, at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, there is the Mamula Fortress, built in the 19th century. During World War II, this impressive complex infamously served as a concentration camp under the rule of fascist Italy, where innocent people, including over 2,000 children and women, were imprisoned.
The architecture of the island is something that must be experienced to fully understand it. The impressive fortress stands as a witness to the history of Boka. The island is named after its founder, Lazar Mamula. Another interesting fact about the island is that the horror film of the same name, directed by Milan Todorović, was filmed there in 2014.
After 78 years, Mamula underwent a transformation and was turned into an exclusive island hotel known as "Mamula Island". Guests have the opportunity to enjoy incredible views of the crystal-clear sea and the fairy-tale nature around the Bay of Kotor, creating an unforgettable experience that connects the past and the present.
