City Center - Korzo-Pedestrian street, Jadranski Square, St Vitus Cathedral Church of the Assumption, Leaning Tower, Arna Studio ApartmentsKorzo is the main pedestrian street, it goes parallel to Riva, and this is where you find popular restaurants, fancy stores and a large shopping mall, Robna Kuca. The baroque City Clock Tower with its gate is situated along Korzo, and is probably Rijeka’s most famous landmark. It was designed by Filbert Bazarig in 1876. It ends at the Jadranski Square (Jadranski trg) to the West, where you find a lot of fountains, and the High House Albori from 1942, sometimes nicknamed just “the Rijeka Skyscraper” despite being just 14 floors high. Korzo ends near the Jelačić Square (Jelacicev trg) in the East, just next to where the river Rječina flows. In the Old Town you find The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a baroque church, with its Leaning Tower. Gaming is legal in Croatia and there are lots of casinos in Rijeka. St.Vitus Cathedral (Katedrala Svetog Vida), or just the Rijeka Cathedral, is a baroque landmark building that is featured on the 100 kuna bill. The current building was completed in 1638. Unfortunately it was closed during our visit, probably due to covid. We stayed at Studio Apartman Arna, a nice apartment that we rent from a friendly lady. We got two bedrooms, kitchen, bath room, wash machine, TV and much more right in the middle of the city, at Ulica Adamiceva right in the city center, next to the City Clock Tower and Korzo. |
