Senj

Senj sits on the Adriatic coast in Croatia’s Lika-Senj County, where the steep foothills of the Velebit range descend towards the Kvarner Gulf. This old port is closely associated with the Uskoks, frontier fighters who made Senj their base during the 16th century. Above the town, Nehaj Fortress, completed in 1558, remains its defining landmark. Senj is also known for the bora, a powerful northeasterly wind that can sweep down from Velebit and shape life along the waterfront. Its compact historic centre, coastal road and mountain backdrop give the city a character distinct from Croatia’s island resorts.
