Recently did a road trip through Bosnia and got to explore this abandoned Austro-Hungarian fortress turned Obserevatory.

Opservatorij (Čolina kapa) was destroyed during the conflict in the 90s.

Cool! The graffiti indicates it may be a nice hangout for the locals. Good work.

Well done. Like the ending shot. Pity it's not still an observatory. Looks like a good location and it looks like they had three telescopes there at one time, including one large one. Now it looks like it's used for graffiti and target practice.

Correct, they converted the fortress in the 60/70s and had 3 domes. There was some concept art for renovating it but unfortunatly no money. A lot of the bullet holes are from the Bosnia War (1992-1995)
