Perched on a hill above Rijeka, Trsat Castle is a medieval fortress with a storied past. Originally built by the Romans, it was later expanded by the Frankopans. Today, visitors can explore its restored ramparts and towers, enjoy panoramic views of the city and the Kvarner Gulf, and visit the small museum inside. The castle also hosts a restaurant and occasional cultural events. Its hilltop location makes it a peaceful retreat from the city below, and the climb up the stairs from the old town is rewarded with breathtaking vistas.
