Podgorica, Montenegro/Serbia and Montenegro Alata, Ribnica, Titograd A Roman staging post at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača Rivers known as Alata, it had been renamed after the Ribnica River by the 11th century. Certainly from 1326 it was known as Podgorica ‘Under the Mountain’ from
pod ‘under’ and
gora, although this name was interchangeable with Ribnica until use of the latter declined in the 15th century. Between 1474 and 1879 it was held by the Ottoman Turks. In 1946 it became the Montenegrin capital and was renamed ‘Tito's Town’ after Marshal Josip Broz Tito
†. Podgorica was readopted in 1992.
