Žabljak Crnojevića

Žabljak Crnojevića is a ruined fortified town on a rocky hill near the north-western shore of Lake Skadar in Montenegro. It was the seat of the Crnojević rulers of Zeta in the fifteenth century until Ivan Crnojević, under Ottoman pressure, moved to Cetinje in 1482. The Ottomans then held it until Montenegro took it in 1878.
