a maritime town of Dalmatia, with a bishop's see, subject to the Venetians. It is seated between the gulf of Cattaro and the city of Dulugno, on the coast of Albany; and is an important fortress, where the Venetians always keep a strong garrison. In 1667, it suffered greatly by an earthquake; and in 1686 was besieged by Soliman, sultan of Scutari; but general Cornaro obliged him to raise the siege. E. long. 19. 22. N. lat. 42. 12.
