1693. A geographical dictionary representing the present and ancient names by Edmund Bohun.
Cattaro, Cattara, a City in Dalmatia, which has been under the Venetians ever since 1420. It is a Bishop's See under the Archbishop of Bari; and is a strong Place, well seated on a Hill, having a Castle belonging to it, and 17 Villages. It lies 40 Miles South of Ragusa, and 35 North-West of Scutari, upon a Bay of the Adriatick Sea, call'd Cattaro, which takes its name from this Place. The Turks have often attempted to take it in Vain.
