Korzo & City Clock Tower
Korzo i Gradski toranj
Rijeka's main pedestrian street, lined with buildings from the Austro-Hungarian era. The arch of the Baroque clock tower leads into the heart of the old town.
Korzo is the 'living room' of Rijeka. It was originally a road outside the old city walls and is now a pedestrian street about 400 m long, lined with 19th-century Austro-Hungarian palatial buildings, shops and cafés. The City Clock Tower in the middle was originally a medieval city gate. It was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century and fitted with a clock in 1873. The tower bears reliefs of the Habsburg double-headed eagle and emperors. Passing through the arch leads to Ivan Koblera Square in the old town and the Roman Arch. The parade for Rijeka Carnival in February, one of the largest carnivals in Europe, passes through this area. It is free and open to visitors all day.
