Senj

Tucked along the Adriatic coast beneath the Velebit range, Senj is a town whose character is shaped by the bora, a powerful northeasterly wind that can sweep down from the mountains with exceptional force. This narrow shore faces the islands of Krk and Rab across the Kvarner Gulf, while the Velebit slopes rise immediately inland. Nehaj Fortress, completed in 1558, stands above the town as the enduring emblem of the Uskoks, frontier fighters associated with Senj in the 16th century. Its old streets, seafront and compact harbour retain the practical feel of a historic coastal port.
