Trsat - Sanctuary & Fortress
Discover Trsat, the heart of spiritual and medieval Rijeka. We'll start from the city center climbing the Petar Kružić steps, and along the way you'll find out why it's impossible to know their exact number. At Trsat you'll see the oldest Marian sanctuary in Croatia, learn about one of the oldest museums in Croatia, and see the remains of a medieval town once ruled by one of the most powerful Croatian families.
What will we see?
- Trsat staircase and chapels
- Shrine of Our Lady of Trsat and Franciscan monastery
- Trsat Fortress
- Nugent Mausoleum
The story you'll hear
Why did the House of Nazareth allegedly stop here, how did the Frankopans become the most powerful family of Kvarner, and why was Trsat independent from Rijeka for centuries.
