  • The Krk Diocese
    THE KRK DIOCESE THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR HIS TEACHINGS O I R E T S I IN M T I E N IO ORAT FOREWORD The centuries-long presence of Christianity on the islands of the Krk Diocese is deeply rooted in the life and culture of its population, which has been subject to a succession of various social orders during the course of history. Until the year 1828, there were three dioceses within this territory: Krk, Osor and Rab. The presence of a bishop and his relationship with the people had a strong impact upon spiritual formation and identity. The pas- tors of the small dioceses of the Kvarner Islands demonstrated magna- nimity and openness of spirit toward the beautiful and modern, while at the same time listening to the “pulse” of the people, incorporating their language in worship. The beauty of handwritten and illuminated Glagolitic missals, psalters and antiphonals greatly enriched the corpus of liturgical literature traditionally written in Latin. Christian culture, both spiritual and material, is reflected here in the arts of painting, architecture, literature, poetry and music. This is a Church distinguished by its priests and religious, especially the Benedictines and Franciscans, including those with the reputation of saintliness, who have played exceptional historical roles in the raising and fostering of national consciousness, enhancement of the quality of life, education in moral principles, and the creation and safeguarding of the cultural heritage. These values provided a firm foundation for assuring the survival of this nation under changing conditions, not infrequently im- posed by fire and sword.

  • Kvarner Fact-Sheet
    KVARNER FACT -SHEET Various information brochures can be obtained from Croatian tourism offices free of charge. More information about the Kvarner region is available at www.kvarner.hr . IN SHORT The Kvarner tourist region includes some of Croatia's most diverse natural landscapes: coast, islands and highlands. The name Kvarner comes from the Latin word Quaternarius meaning "four cardinal points". Thanks to the favourable climate on the coast, winter health tourism started developing as early as 1880, later shifting to the summer months. GEOGRAPHY The Kvarner region connects the Istrian peninsula in the west with the Croatian Littoral in the east, and includes the Gorski kotar highlands and the Primorje littoral. This is where Central Europe turns into the Mediterranean. The harsh hill country with its fortresses, castles and baroque churches flows into a Mediterranean landscape with fashionable coastal towns, harbours, beaches, islands and stone houses. CULTURAL HISTORY Thanks to its sheltered and appealing geographic location, Kvarner Bay has always attracted the interest of settlers and invaders. As early as 1200 BC, the Illyrian tribe of Liburnians settled on the Kvarner coast and traded in amber. The remains of the walls of their hill forts are still visible today. They were followed by the Greeks, Romans, Ostrogoths, Slavs, Franks, Byzantines, Hungarians, Venetians and Austrians. These all left indelible traces of their civilisations. Today, the Kvarner region has 278 protected cultural monuments, including 177 historical zones and 161 buildings and complexes. Interested visitors can read the history of the region from these monuments as if from a book. CLIMATE Kvarner Bay has one of the mildest climates in the Adriatic.
