Podgorica
Podgorica is the capital and largest city of Montenegro.
The city was known as Titograd between 1946 and 1992—in the period that Montenegro formed, as the Socialist Republic of Montenegro, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY)—in honour of Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Podgorica's favourable position at the confluence of the Ribnica and Moraca rivers and at the meeting-point of the fertile Zeta Plain and Bjelopavlici Valley has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter skiing centers in the north and to seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea.
