Kastav - Croatia

Kastav is a medieval town located in the western part of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, only 6 kilometres from Opatija. It is situated at the northern edge of Rijeka Bay and includes 6 settlements with a population of less than 10,000. Despite the low population density, Kastav has a rich cultural and historical heritage and a recognisable identity. This is attested to by the Kastav Law from the year 1400 and the town's historic centre surrounded by medieval walls. Particularly impressive are the towers within the walls of this town that is built on a hill 365 metres above the sea.
