Encyclopedia
Tivat is a coastal town in southwest Montenegro
, located in the Bay of Kotor
. It has a population of 14,111 (2011 census).
Tivat is the centre of the municipality, which is the smallest municipality by area in Montenegro.
Tivat, the youngest town in the Boka area was established on the spacious plateau at the bottom of Vrmac. According to the archives of Kotor
(then called "Cattaro", the following names were mentioned here in the 14th century: Teude, Theode, and Theudo who are related to the queen Teuta.
Archeological discoveries in modern times show that this area was inhabited since prehistoric times.
Many locations show that there were old Roman and Greek settlements where today Tivat is. Tombs and tombstones from Roman period were discovered in Lastva and Opatovo.
During the Middle Ages
the fertile lands of the Tivat area belonged mostly to the aristocrats of Cattaro, Prčanj
and Dobrota
. There were their big properties, castles, and chalets as well as the collective church of St. Anton
dating from 1373. Part of this inheritance, which was the property of the wealthy Dalmatian Italian Buca family, is a historic chalet which today houses Tivat’s museums and galleries. The residence of the metropolitan of the Zeta
n diocese was built from the 13th to the 15th century on Prevlaka Island
.
Tivat (called Teodo in the Venetian language
), was under the Republic of Venice
as a part of Albania Veneta
from 1420 to 1797. In those centuries Teodo enjoyed an economic development, that attracted many Serbs as refugees from ottoman held areas. Some Venetian-style buildings were made in Teodo, still standing today.
Rapid development of Tivat started in second half of 19th century when the Austrian empire built a maritime arsenal for its fleet. Still the town shaped itself by developing an industry of small capacity. In the beginning of 1918, in the Tivat Bay there was an uprising of sailors against the mighty and large Austrian empire. With great approval and support, people from this area and workers of arsenal followed the revolutionary actions of the sailors. The period between two world wars was marked with syndicate activity in Racica, Krtoli and Arsenal. Between 1941 and 1943 the town was part of the Italian Governatorate of Dalmatia.
In 1889 the Naval arsenal was built by Austrians
, and was later used as a naval military base
of the Italian Navy, the Yugoslav People's Army and the Army of Montenegro. The JNA enjoyed an international reputation as a powerful, well-equipped, and well trained force. The base was also used by Russia and Libya as the technical base for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of their ships and submarines.
The new owner of the naval base, Canadian billionaire Peter Munk, announced that he will build in Tivat a luxury marina for mega-yachts, "Porto Montenegro ", which he claims will turn the city into the "Monaco of the southern Adriatic. "
. The municipality lies mostly south of the town, and also has an exit to open sea at the tourist location Pržno inlet near Radovići village in south. Its central part, where Tivat Airport
is located, lies in fertile Grbalj valley. The airport is located near the isthmus
of Luštica
peninsula, which belongs to the municipality of Herceg Novi
for the most part.
Tivat is an area with extraordinary natural beauty. Its geographical position, climate and natural beauty make it a very attractive tourist destination. Boka was described and celebrated in verse by many poets, writers and scientists: Vuk Karadžić, Ljubomir Nenadović, Njegoš, Matavulj, Laza Kostić, Šantić, Jovan Cvijić and many others. Boka has captured many writers of travels from England, Germany and France, among them: Padget, Lamb, Fraser, Gilles Verne, and Pierre Loti. American Boyd said:” God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he took his time and created this fjord under Lovcen”
With its mild Mediterranean climate, evergreen and rich flora, many sunny days and calm sea in the bay, Tivat is equally suitable for summer and winter holidays.

From geomorphologic point of view municipality of Tivat is composed of three areas: Vrmac hill with peaks Velji Vrh (710m) and Popova glava (584m).

History
The origin of the name Tivat supposedly goes back to the 3rd century BC. According to most sources, the name Tivat comes from the name of old Ilyric queen Teute, whose residence was in Risan and summer residence between the church of St Roco in Donja Lastva and Seljanovo.
