#662 Trsat Castle

Trsat Castle, Rijeka, Croatia

About this stone

This castle rises above the city on a hilltop that has been a lookout point since prehistoric times, offering sweeping views over the surrounding bay. The site once held a Roman fort, and the current walls date back to the 13th century when the Frankopan family turned it into a medieval stronghold. Today, it functions as a cultural hub, hosting concerts, art exhibitions, and festivals within its restored courtyards. One curious detail is the connection to the famous sanctuary below, linked by a legendary "Pilgrimage Stairs" of 561 steps that locals still climb today. The stone walls and courtyards make for an atmospheric spot to explore.
