Drivenik Castle

The name Drivenik reminds us of the Croatian word ‘drven’ which means ‘wooden’. Indeed, this castle was initially made of wood, and then of stone in the second phase of its construction. It has loopholes that provided a more secure position for its defenders against the Ottomans.

Exhibition “Meet the Frankopans”

The Cultural-Tourist Route The Routes of the Frankopans of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka present the exhibition "Meet the Frankopans". Within the exhibition, visitors will be able to get acquainted with the Cultural-Tourist Route The Routes of the Frankopans, all locations of the route, interpretation centres, multimedia content and many activities carried out through this large county project. In addition, as a special curiosity, for the first time in Rijeka will be exhibited costumes of Juraj Zigman specially created for The Routes of the Frankopans, which in the video for the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County song "Zavičaju, tebi" is worn by Ana Katarina Frankopan - Mia Negovetić. From Dujam to Fran Krsto, from Krk to Wiener Neustadt, from 1118 to 1671... More than five and a half centuries of Croatian history is inconceivable without the Frankopans. There is no such important social and political duty and role that they did not perform; they were counts, viceroys and warriors, art supporters and poets, and ultimately political revolutionaries in search of a better world. They were followed by codes, statutes and other important civil documents, recorded in the Croatian language in the Glagolitic alphabet. In their lineage is recorded a series of 114 Frankopans in 17 generations. Here is just a part of their story, and to continue, follow The Routes of the Frankopans. The exhibition will be open from January 28 to March 20, 2022.
