Geography
One theory is that the name "Zeta" derives from an early Greek "Zenta", later romanized in "Senta".
The Zeta River is the most significant tributary of the
Bjelopavlići Valley and Danilovgrad Municipality, until it empties into the Morača a few miles north of Capital City of Podgorica
.
Historical monumental
Carev Most
(the Tsar's Bridge) exists over Zeta to the south of Nikšić town, and the ancient castle of Pandurica is situated nearby.
