ANTIVARI (Montenegrin BAR), so called by the Venetians from its position opposite Bari, in Italy, a seaport of Yugo slavia, Turkish until 1878. Pop. 5,544. The old town is built inland, hidden among dense olive groves, and overshadowed by the peak of Rumija (5,226ft.). It is a ruinous walled village with the shell of an old Venetian fortress, surrounded by mosques and bazaars, and containing the residence of the Roman Catholic archbishop. The fine bay of Antivari, with Prstan, its port, is about 3m. distant through barren country shut in by mountains. It is commanded by the fortress of Spizza (Austrian till 1918) on the northern horn of the bay. In the centre of the shore is a royal villa, and a hotel has recently been erected. The harbour works (begun in 1906) afford accommodation for 200 large ves sels, and include dockyards, warehouses, a customs house, dis pensary, electric lighting, telephone, and wireless installation. The only railway runs from Virpazar to Antivari, but there is a good coast road, and a service of steamers coastwise and to Bari. Fishing, olive oil refining, and tobacco growing are the main industries, but there are iron and phosphate deposits in the neighbourhood, and probably valuable bauxite ones at Spizza. The Bank of Montenegro has a branch at Antivari. The civil population successfully resisted Italian occupation in 1919.
