Ivan Crnojević, Prince of the Zeta 1465–1490, is considered the founder of Cetinje. After the Ottomans captured the Venetian Shkodra in 1479, Ivan moved his seat of government from the endangered Žabljak on Lake Skadar to the mountains east of Lovćen. Here he founded an Orthodox monastery dedicated to the Mother of God in 1482, which became the nucleus of Cetinje. In 1495, a printing press was set up there.
