  • 1. St. Vitus Cathedral Rijeka
    The St. Vitus Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Rijeka, Croatia. In the Middle Ages, the Church of St. Vitus was a small and one-sided, romanesque church dedicated to the patron saint and protector of Rijeka.

  • 7. Torpedo museum Rijeka
    A modern torpedo is a self-propelled weapon with an explosive warhead, launched above or below the water surface, propelled underwater towards a target, and designed to detonate either on contact with its target or in proximity to it. Historically, it was called an automotive, automobile, locomotive or fish torpedo; colloquially called a fish.
