It is very well preserved and all its elements are still there: casern for the accomodation of men, separatelly for the officers and common soldiers, kitchen, toilets, munition stocks, food, and other stuff, water, etc.
However, the fortress never served its purpose, since there was never a military attack.
Due to its isolated position, it was used as a concentration camp in both World Wars and the fort has also served as a prison.
In 1918, one part of the fort was used as a prison for the saillors who participated in famous Boka bay rebellion. The tradition to use Mamula as a prison was continued even in the Second World War. For more information visit website #Kotor.
