If you decide to spend a weekend in the beautiful town of Rijeka, don’t miss the opportunity and visit Trsat. Walking along the picturesque centre of Trsat towards the west, you will reach the Trsat Fort, which was once a Franciscan castle. You will discover a beautiful view of the Kvarner Bay spreading from the castle located on a 138 m high hill above the town of Rijeka and River Rjecina which flows deep into the mountain.

Nowadays, the Trsat Fort is one of the most visited sights in Rijeka and a place where numerous cultural music and stage performances are held throughout the year. Both local and foreign tourists regularly visit this ancient medieval Franciscan castle. The attractiveness, meaning and originality it possesses are unique and cannot be found anywhere else in this region.

The Trsat Fort is perfect for organizing various cultural and entertainment events. It is a place in which stage performances, exhibitions and concerts can be held, as well as a place where one can rest, have a good time or a good conversation. It is a place for the cultural needs of everyday life. After the fort was made even more attractive with the setting of special light effects, it became an oasis which the people of Rijeka see both as a fort of their culture and their spirit.
