Situated below the mountain and Nature Park Učka, Opatija (old names: Sankt Jakobi, Abbazia) is a great choice for a vacation in summer and winter season. Beautiful nature, climate, parks, hotels & old Austrian villas, seaside promenade and beaches attract tourists from Europe and all over the world for more then 160 years. Opatija is the leading tourist destination in the Republic of Croatia for the organization of conventions. Along with festivals, concerts, exhibits, and other cultural and sport events Opatija offers attractions worth visiting during the whole year!
At the beginning of 20th century, in front of the park Angiolina was prepared&planned space to build a multi-functional Healing Palace (Kurpalast), for which was announced the tender (1911). Architects Marcel Kammerer, Otto Schönthal and Emil Hoppe designed the palace with a dance and concert halls, swimming pool with artificial waves, shops and cafes, but World War I interrupted the vibrant development of Opatija and project remained unrealized. After the War and the Rapal treaty in 1920., Istria and Opatija became the part of Italy, and instead of the Palace, Opatija has got an open air theater.
