The story
An 1811 island fort above the Adriatic
Fort George was built by the British after the Battle of Vis in 1811 and sits on a hill a few minutes from the town of Vis, on the island of the same name in Dalmatia. When its present owners first saw it in 2013 it was an empty stone shell at the end of a rocky track, with no floors, power, water or road. They have spent years restoring it, putting back floors, sealing it against the weather and keeping the original stone rather than covering it.
Today it works as a restaurant, bar and events venue, and a wedding here can use the whole fort. The layout is a series of connected indoor and outdoor areas surrounded by pines and facing west over the sea, so guests move from a ceremony to dinner and then to dancing without leaving the site. Indoor rooms are available if the weather turns.
