I would like to make you familiar with our beautiful city on Adriatic coast called Rijeka or Fiume on Italian.It can be literally translated to English by "river".
Rijeka is situated in Kvarner Gulf and has superior connections with italian coast and serves as a main city port of whole Croatia.It has aproximately 200000 citizens.It was very important economical and cultural centre of littoral part of our current and ex country.
Currently the city has turned its main focus on tourism because of its great historical culture which dates from Roman empire thru Austro-Hungarian union as only port of that gigantic middle Europan empire.Of big importance are Naval academy,Korzo square,Governers palace and train station from 19th century.
Some interesting facts about Rijeka:
1.first torpedo in the world was designed and tested in Rijeka
2.It was nominated by american president Woodrow Wilson to be the capital city of League of nations,forerunner of today UN
3.It was an independent city state from 1920 to 1924 called Stato libero di Fiume.
