Ancient fortress will turn into a theater

The fortress Mogren was built in the middle of the 19th century by order of the Austro-Hungarian authorities to protect Budva from the west. During the Second World War, it was used as a warehouse for weapons and ammunition. From the ruined walls of the fort there is a fantastic view of the Budva Riviera, the Old Town, the island of St. Nicholas and the beach of Yaz.

From the fortress leads a path to the beach Mogren II, but going down, you need to be careful, since in the thickets are found snakes.

The building is located on the outskirts of Budva towards Kotor, on the left side in front of the Mogren tunnel.

At the moment, the city authorities are looking for an investor to carry out a comprehensive reconstruction of this historic place in order to organize a summer tetral festival "Grad Theater" here in the future. It is planned to build a stage, an auditorium for at least 320 seats, an exhibition complex, a cafe, parking and other infrastructure elements.

Currently, the festival is held in the summer months on the open areas of Budva and other towns of the Budva Riviera and is very popular with theater lovers.
