Opatija (Croatien) guide

Opatija got its name from an abbey (opatija in Croatian) that was established here in the late Middle Ages by Benedictine monks. Opatija’s history as a tourist destination begins in the 1840’s when a merchant from the nearby city of Rijeka, Iginio Scarpa, built the Villa Angiolina which served as both a family retreat and a venue for high-society gatherings.
