Majorija: Rotor Senj - Ulica Filipa Vukasovića
Built around an ancient Adriatic harbour, Senj grew into a fortified Croatian town between the Velebit Mountains and the Kvarner coast. Ulica Filipa Vukasovića forms part of the urban road network linking waterfront districts with the town’s main approaches. Above the centre stands Nehaj Fortress, completed in 1558; Senj was the base of the Uskoks, fighters active on this frontier in the 16th century. The compact settlement is pressed between the Adriatic Sea and steep mountain ground, giving its everyday streets a distinctly coastal and transit-oriented character. Senj has long connected the Kvarner area with routes leading inland across the Velebit range.
