For centuries, the old town of Veprinac has watched over Kvarner, and passing through the city gates opens a door onto the historical path of this region like a time machine. This path leads next to the Church of St. Anne, where more than 500 years ago, one of the most important legal documents in this area, the Veprinac Statute, was written. Nearby, it is possible to see Komunšćica, a former administrative building and prison, where an ethno collection is now kept. A few hundred steps up the stone staircase is all it takes to reach the lookout spot, in front of the majestic Church of St. Mark, which overlooks the entire bay.
However, Veprinac is not just a history-book of the whole region, but also a live stage where performances of vocal groups - or klape - and folk festivals take place as well as where you can taste local specialties and wines. With well-maintained promenades connected to the centre of Opatija and the peak of Učka, Veprinac is perfect for all generations.
