The remains of this Austrian fort occupy Glavica hill between Komarna and Duboka, on the southern edge of the Slivno peninsula. It was built in the 19th century under Austro-Hungarian rule to help defend the naval anchorage stretching from Komarna to Mali Ston. Its strategic position commanded the entrance to Neum–Klek Bay. The outer defensive walls form a regular polygon, with crew and service rooms once attached on the east; the remains of a rectangular central building survive within. Two sunken gun batteries stood to its south-west and south-east. The site is recorded as preventively protected cultural property, number P-5289.
