SCUTARI (Albanian Skodra), a town of European Turkey, Albania, capital of a pashalik in the eyalet of Rumili, at the southern extremity of the Lake of Scutari, from which the Boyana here issues, 45 miles S.E. of Cattaro. It is walled and defended by two castles; contains a bazaar, numerous mosques, Greek and Roman Catholic churches. Ship-building, woollen and cotton weaving, and the manufacture of fire-arms, are carried on here. Scutari is the principal place of trade in Bosnia and Albania, as three important routes cross each other here—that from Constantinople to the Adriatic; that from Belgrade to the Mediterranean; and that from Dalmatia to Albania. Pop. 24,000.
