Sveti Stefan, Crna Gora #198320471
Description
The earliest record of Sveti Stefan is as the capital city of the PaÃ
¡troviÃâ¡i community, which became a protectorate of the Republic of Venice in 1423, having been independent since the twelfth century. The PaÃ
¡troviÃâ¡i accepted Venetian sovereignty because they were fearful of attack from the Turks. They retained considerable autonomy and paid no tribute to Venice, in return for ceasing piracy against Venetian ships.
