Sutomore ( Cyrillic Сутоморе , Albanian Spiç / Spiçi , Venetian Spizza ) is a small coastal town in the municipality of Bar , Montenegro . It has 1827 inhabitants.
history
Sutomore was called Spizza when it was part of the Republic of Venice from 1420 to 1797, and subsequently part of Venetian Albania , except during the brief period of Turkish occupation. From 1879 to 1918 the place belonged as the southernmost municipality to the Kingdom of Dalmatia within Austria-Hungary . The Austrian census of 1910 reported that there were Venetian-speaking families in Spizza at the beginning of the 20th century.
