in Dalmatia (see DALMATIA), which some would have the same as Arauzona, and others the Stupi of the ancients, though probably it has no connection with either the one or the other. It was purchased in 1410 by the republic of Venice, for 5000 ducats, and some pieces of land besides. Its fortresses, which was seated on a rock, perpendicularly cut all round, and deservedly reckoned impregnable before the use of artillery, was taken by Soliman in 1529, but soon after returned under the dominion of Venice. At present, no traces of its fortification remain, and it is only a bare and isolated mass. There are some natural curiosities about the place.
