Kula Redžepagića, side view
Plav, Montenegro
The wooden projections served as separate elements for various functions; one served as a food preparation area, and another as a toilet, and the third as a čošak, a bay for sitting with views and daylight to entertain and work. The small slits in the masonry served as rifle ports when the kula was under siege.
Plav, sits to the east of Lake Plav in the mountainous area near the Albanian and Serbian borders. The kula building type is also found in Albania, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Skilled builders from Debar in Macedonia reputedly constructed the kulas in the Plav region. (photo 1988)
