THE ANGIOLINA PARK

THE ANGIOLINA PARK

Opatija rests on the coast of Kvarner, beneath the mountain of Učka (1396 m), and it spreads on two geographically distinct areas; the coastal belt consists of Opatija's Riviera or Opatija's littoral area with 43 km of sea shore and a mountainous part, conditionally called Opatija karst.

PARK ANGIOLINA

PARK ANGIOLINA

Opatija's central park is a horticultural monument surfacing 3.64 ha. It is divided into 60 fields with some 150 plant species. A huge number of them originate from far corners of the world and are not typical for this climate.

ST. JACOB'S PARK

ST. JACOB'S PARK

The park embraces Opatija's oldest edifice, St. Jacob's Church. It was built on the foundations of a Benedictine monastery – Benedictine abbey after which the city was named.
