==History== When it was under the control of the Republic of Venice from 1420 to 1797, Sutomore was called Spizza (in Venetian). It belonged administratively to Albania Veneta, except for short-lived periods of Ottoman occupation. When, in the late 16th century, the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monastery Ratac collapsed, the Orthodox rite began to strengthen in the formerly Catholic parishes of Spič (Sutomore), Sozina and Kastel Lastva, which had previously been under Catholic jurisdiction. At the same time, the Orthodox clergy and believers began to use Catholic churches of that area for their rites.
