DO & SEE

times, through various centuries of conicts, ruling

dynasties and countries, and periods of architecture

change. Today, many buildings from these periods can be

found, especially around the Korzo and the Riva avenues in

the heart of the town.

Rijeka is a bustling, cosmopolitan town characterised by

its fabulous history, its cultural edge and its waterborne

leisure and industry activities.

Following a renovation in the 1960s, Trsat castle is the

centre of the cultural activities in the town. Events include

festivals and exhibitions, which are held almost

continuously and often involve the many other art

galleries, museums, sports centres and exhibition halls

found in the city.

Reka in the 17th century, and, as Rijeka when it became a

free port in 1719. During this time the city’s prosperity as

a centre for industry and shipping grew. In the 19th

century it became the eighth largest port in Europe. In
