A place which is important for Podgorica is Duklja (ruins left from the ancient city). Doclea was originally the name of the Roman city, built by Roman Emperor Diocletian, who hailed from this region of Roman Dalmatia. The town was situated ca. 3 km north from present-day Podgorica, Montenegro's capital. The Illyrian Docleatae, which were later Romanized, inhabiting the area derived their name from the city.
