Last night, the first movie was shown at the Forte mare fortress, thus opening this year's open-air cinema season.

Films have been shown at Forte Mare since 1952, and it is believed by many to be one of the most beautiful and oldest summer cinemas in Montenegro.

In the past, the summer cinema season at the fortress used to last for a full 5 months, and there were 500 spectators at one screening.

The Forte Mare fortress is one of the better-preserved Herzegovinian fortresses, the construction of which was started by Herceg Stjepan Vukčić Kosača in the first half of the 15th century.

During the Turkish era, the fortress got its present dimensions, and the Turks added to it and renovated it on several occasions.

With the conquest of Herceg Novi, the people of Mljenica renovated the tower, adapting it to the defense and armament of the time. They named the tower Forte mare (Sea fortress or fortress of the sea), which name has been retained to this day.
