. The church and the monastery form a harmonious combination of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Biedermeier building phases. The splendid interior of this peculiar two-nave church comprises two particularly beautiful cloisters and a summer refectory with a large Mannerist canvas by S. Schön and works of the Baroque painter C. Tasca. By far the most splendid is the Gothic polyptych with the central presentation of the Madonna with the Child. The wealth of the monastery treasury is testimony of the popularity of the sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat, which was abundantly endowed first by the Frankopans, and later by numerous other Croatian and Carniolan noble families, as well as by members of the Habsburg dynasty. The art gallery is constantly enriched by new donations. The Votive Chapel contains numerous picturesque popular illustrations of the miracles of Our Lady of Trsat, but also a fine Gothic sculpture of Our Lady of Slunj.

Built in 1885 as a city theatre according to the design of the specialized Vienna Helmer and Fellner workshop, which designed similar buildings throughout the Austro-Hungary of the time. Matsch, Kauffungen and Fritsch, and the Klimt brothers, permanent associates of the workshop, were charged with equipping the theatre, contributing to the pronounced central European atmosphere of the town. The exterior is adorned by figurative compositions of Music and Drama by Venetian sculptor Benvenutti. The opening of the theatre was marked by a performance of Verdi's Aida.

The interior of the church is a true Baroque Gesamtkunstwerk, a unity of style that perturbs the Early Gothic crucifix, imbedded in the middle of the main altar. The authors of the profuse marble Baroque sculptures in the interior are masters P. Lazzarini, A. Michelazzi and L. Pacassi. St. Vitus’ is a unique Baroque rotunda of such monumental dimensions built in Croatia. The church is the only remaining part of a once vast Jesuit complex that included a seminary and a college, but was demolished in the period between the two world wars. The portal of the College has been preserved, however, by being transferred to the deanery next to St. Vitus.

t the very heart of the Astronomical Centre, which is comprised of an observatory, a small and a large hall and additional facilities, is a digital planetarium. In order to explain it better, we will compare it to the observatory – whereas in the observatory the visitors can observe a real image of the space via telescope, the planetarium uses digital technology in order to display a simulated picture of the universe.The digital planetarium in Rijeka is the only one of its kind in Croatia and the wider region. It is a hall in form of an amphitheatre, providing 50 seats and 2 additional seats for persons with limited mobility. Once comfortably seated, visitors can enjoy projections (live presentations) of the skyline and celestial objects or watch films on astrology and underwater world, which are displayed on an 8 m diameter dome above their heads.

"Trsat is the older part of Rijeka. Beautiful place to go for a walk. There is also an old tower overlooking Rijeka itself with a beautiful sea view. Definitively a choice to see."
"I drove there as there is a diving school. The views from the boat of the town are awesome! There is a supermarket, many hotels and a beach. Will definitely go back to the diving school. Just be aware that you have to pay parking to enter the town."
"Northern Velebit National Park (Sjeverni Velebit in Croatian)
Driving FROM KRASNO POLJE toward Sveti Juraj, then turning left toward the Babic Sica park entrance, then driving TO the ZAVIZAN HUT was no problem on May 29, 2012: there was NO SNOW on the road. We had planned this drive on the last ..."possible day of our vacation in Croatia to minimize the risk of snow on the road.
In the park entrance hut, the map was useful, the ranger helpful, and she sold a few souvenirs, including a few T-shirts, perhaps 2 designs and not every size.
PARKING was easy below Zavizan Hut. There was a restroom and picnic tables. There was another restroom a little beyond the botanical garden entrance.
WALKING STICKS (1-inch diameter tree branches) were available at the parking lot, leaning against a trail sign at the bottom of the steps up to the hut, and again at the start of the Premuzik Trail, leaning against a tree trunk. We "borrowed" some, then returned them at the end of the day.
