Golo brdo
Golo brdo – Werk VII – is one of the largest and best-preserved fortifications of its kind in the Trebinje area. It is located at an altitude of 795 meters above sea level.
The accommodation for soldiers manning the fortress makes a V shape that connects to a hexagonal cannon platform that had eight openings for cannons. Two caponiers were found at the ends for direct defence of the fortification, and between them was the entryway and courtyard.
From its position, it covered the south-east entrance into Trebinje and completed the defence belt between fortifications numbered ‘eight’ and ‘six’. The number of personnel stationed there changed as needed and it had all the elements a fortress needed (a water cistern, rooms for soldiers, a stable for horses and donkeys, etc.).
