Rijeka Crnojevića (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Ријека Црнојевића, lit. "River of Crnojević") is a town in Montenegro on the eponymous Rijeka Crnojevića river, near the shore of Lake Skadar.

History

[edit]

The Ottomans captured Žabljak Crnojevića in 1478 after they had defeated the main army of Ivan Crnojević in late 1477 or early 1478.[1] Ivan moved his seat to Obod (fortified by him in 1475[2]) which was soon renamed to Rijeka Crnojevića, and became the new capital of Montenegro.[3]

Rijeka Crnojevića was the historical seat of the Riječka nahija,[4] one of the four territorial units of Old Montenegro.
