Dulcigno (classic Olcinium; Turk. Olgun), a seaport on the Adriatic, about 18 miles S.W. of Scutari. It formerly belonged to Turkey, but was transferred to Montenegro by the Berlin Treaty of 1878. Built on a promontory and defended by a castle, it was for many years a stronghold of pirates, but the inhabitants are now engaged in the coasting trade or agriculture.
