About Rijeka
Rijeka is a Croatian city-port founded in the 7th century on the banks of the Rijeka River, near the Istrian peninsula by the Adriatic Sea.

The city has many 14th-18th century architectural monuments, most of them are churches. The most impressive are the St. Vitus Cathedral (17th century, Baroque), the Sanctuary of the Mother of God Trsat, the Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes (20th century), the Saint Mary of the Assumption Church (13th century) with inclined tower-bell tower (14th century, Gothic). Other notable historical monuments are the yellow City Clock Tower (19th century), the Palace Modello (19th century, late Renaissance, now a public library), the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Coast (former palace, 19th century). It is also worth climbing to the top of Trsat Castle Hill (13th century, Roman castle ruins), as it offers a beautiful panorama of the city and its surroundings.
Rijeka is a small town with a beautiful old town, narrow streets and cozy historic houses. Visit the Central Market (19th Century) by the sea for fresh fish, fruits, vegetables.
