Empty little Town in the middle of November

Hello!

Na 365 metara nadmorske visine, na svega desetak kilometara od Rijeke smjestio se utvrđeni grad Kastav. Postojanje Kastva datira još od prehistorijskog doba, kad je bio paleolitičko naselje, zatim rimski tabor, živahni srednjevjekovni grad pa sve do danas... Šetnja njegovim mirnim i jesenski opustjelim ulicama šetnja je kroz bogatu i zanimljivu povijest, kroz ispričane i neispričane priče i legende...

365 meters above the sea level, only 8 miles from town Rijeka in Adriatic coast, a small fortified town is settled. It's history dates back to prehistoric times, when it was a stone age settlement, than a Roman camp, than an active medieval town, and it lives on today... Walking through it's calm and autumnishly empty streets is a walk through rich and interesting history, through stories and legends, both told and hidden...

 Gradska Loža, namijenjena javnim okupljanjima, sagrađena 1571. godine, tada jedina zgrada izvan gradskih zidina.

Municipal Loggia, designated for public gatherings was built in 1571.

Crekvina, crkva Marijina uznesenja, građena kroz 18 st., ne zna se je li ikada dovršena...

Crekvina, church of St. Mary's Assumption, built through 18th century, it has never been confirmed of being finished...
