richness in bodies of water is a major feature of the city. In contrast to most of Montenegro, Podgorica

lies in a mainly flat area at the northern end of the Zeta plain. The only exceptions are hills which

overlook the city. The most significant is Gorica Hill (107 m), which rises above the city centre. The name

Podgorica means "under the Gorica" in Serbian language. Gorica (meaning "little hill" or hillock) is the

name of the cypress-covered hill that overlooks the city centre. The city's population was 156,169 in the

2011 census. The Podgorica Municipality contains 10.4% of Montenegro's territory and 29.9% of its

population. It is the administrative centre of Montenegro and its economic, cultural and educational

focus.

of that word.

Podgorica has a modified Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters. Although the

city is only some 50 km (31 mi) from the Adriatic Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean, the proximity of the

Dinaric Alps to the north alters its climate. The mean annual rainfall is 1,600 mm (63 in). The

temperature exceeds 25 °C during about 135 days each year and the median daily temperature is

16.4°C. The number of rainy days is about 120, and those with a strong wind around 60. An occasional

strong northerly wind influences the climate in the winter, with a wind-chill effect lowering the

perceived temperature by a few degrees.

The city of Podgorica

Some three kilometers north-west of Podgorica lie

the ruins of Doclea, a town known in Greek, pre-

Roman and Roman times. The Roman Emperor

Diocletian came from this region. In later centuries,

Romans "corrected" the name to Dioclea, guessing

wrongly that an "i" had been lost in vulgar speech.

"Duklja" is the later (South Slavic) version

Podgorica is the capital and largest city of Montenegro.

In contemporary history, the city was also known as

Titograd from 1946 to 1992 during the existence of SFR

Yugoslavia.

Podgorica is located in central Montenegro. The area is

crossed with rivers and the city itself is only 15

kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Lake Skadar. The Morača

and Ribnica rivers flow through the city, while the Zeta,

Cijevna, Sitnica and Mareza flow nearby. This
