Podgorica Map, Capital of Montenegro Lake Skadar, Ostrog monastery, Tara River Canyon, Millennium Bridge, Ribnica, Sitnic About City : Podgorica is the capital city of Montenegro and acts as the country’s administrative center. It is the largest city of the nation with a population of 150,000. The languages spoken here are Serbian, Montenegrin, Croatian and Romanian. Podgorica was ruled by the Ottomans for four centuries from 1474 until Berlin Congress captured it in 1878. During the Second World War, the city was bombed over 70 times and was finally liberated in 1944. From 1946, it was known as Titograd and served as the capital of SFR Yugoslavia until, in 1992, the republic broke up and the city was named Podgorica.

From the onset of the 21st century, it has emerged as a pro-western and modern city with a promising economic and growth prospects. Geography : Located between the Dinaric Alps and Lake Scutari, the city lies in central Montenegro and one of its major features is the fact that it is extremely rich in water bodies.
