Rijeka Crnojevića (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Ријека Црнојевића, lit. "River of Crnojević") is a town in Montenegro on the eponymous Rijeka Crnojevića river, near the coast of Skadar lake.
The Ottomans captured Žabljak Crnojevića in 1478 after they defeated main army of Ivan Crnojević in late 1477 or early 1478. Ivan moved his seat to Obod (fortified by him in 1475[1]) which was soon renamed to Rijeka Crnojevića, and became the new capital of Montenegro.[2]
Rijeka Crnojevića was the historical seat of the Riječka nahija,[3] one of the four territorial units of Old Montenegro.
