Description
The fortress of Obolon was first mentioned in the chronicles of the priest Dukljanin. The fortress was built upon the fundaments of an ancient illyrian-greek Akropolis and a roman-byzantine fortress. The fortress was built on a strategic very important position to controll the region of the eastern Lake Skadar and the Fields south of modern Podgorica.
