Rijeka (HR)

Rijeka (Italian and Hungarian: Fiume) is the principal seaport and the third-largest city (128,624 inhabitants in 2011) in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea. Historically, because of its strategic position and its deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially among Italy, Hungary, and Croatia.
