Liburnia – a prehistoric city

The city of Rijeka got its historical name by its inhabitants Liburns, and is therefore called Liburnia. The remains of Liburna can be found on Trsat Hill, where today lies the Trsat Castle. Trsat Castle is a strategically exhilarated sight on a 138 meter high hill that dominates Rijeka. In the center of Rijeka, we will visit the medieval tower that  counts the hours for its fellow citizens even today. It was built on late antique remains, and its appearance attests to the architectural and conqueror periods that ruled the city.

Baroque legacy

Rijeka Cathedral Vida is the only baroque round of monumental proportions built on the land of Croatia. Visitors will be delighted with the Latin inscriptions and features in the interior of the cathedral which represent the Napoleonic wars that played in the city of Rijeka

Religious center

The sanctuary of Mother of God Trsat is the largest pilgrimage center in western Croatia. Its affiliation is related to the tradition of the miraculous transfer of Nazareth’s home and its stay on Trsat (1291-1294).
