Rijeka

Rijeka has served as a port city on Kvarner Bay in the Croatian Littoral since the Middle Ages. Set where the Rječina reaches the Adriatic, Croatia’s principal seaport developed under Habsburg rule and was declared a free port in 1719. The broad Korzo promenade remains the civic centre, while the 19th-century Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc recalls the city’s Austro-Hungarian era. Above the centre, Trsat Castle occupies a long-established hilltop site, beside the important Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat. Rijeka was European Capital of Culture in 2020, reflecting its Croatian, Italian, Hungarian and wider Adriatic influences.
