User:Amila1921/sandbox/Škaljić family

Škaljić, a family, domiciled in Sarajevo since 1600s, originally from the Mediterranean port of Kotor (Italian Cattaro).

From the 14th century, Kotor (founded by the Romans as Acruvium) existed as the independent Republic of Cattaro, occasionally falling under protectorate regimes of the Croats, Bosnians and Hungarians. It succumbed to Venetian rule in 1420, which governed the area for almost four centuries.

The family settlement in Kotor known as  Škaljari  still exists today.
