- Fort Lesendro - Lesendro is a peninsula and fortress on Skadar Lake, situated near the village of Vranjina. Constructed in the 18th century, the fortress stands on a peninsula that was originally an island until the Belgrade - Bar railway line was built. During the rule of Bishop Peter II Petrović-Njegoš, it was used as a defense against Turkish invasions. Unfortunately, the Montenegrins were not successful, and the Turks captured the area, leading to the island being referred to as Njegos’ sorrow. The fortress of Lesendro symbolizes the enduring struggle of the Montenegrin people for independence.
