Rijeka

Lying at the center of the Kvarner gulf, Rijeka is among the busiest ports of Croatia. Most of the people living here are Croats though there is a distinct Italian influence and the Adriatic confluence guides the city’s port routes towards Italy. Rijeka is known for its shipbuilding industry. In fact, much of its revenue comes from this industry. Also, marine transport ranks very high in terms of its revenue generation.

The history of the city is seeped in a mighty lineage. It was ruled by Ostrogoths and later the Byzantines. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire and Constantinople, the Islamic caliphate was given a thumb down and Catholicism arrived on the scene. Rijeka is attached to Hungary and it is ruled directly by the governor stationed at Budapest. Having said this, Croatia has autonomy from within the constitution of Hungary.

The climate is humid and quite in sync with the subtropical climate in general. Winters are mildly cold and rainy while summers are hot. Rijeka’s economy is boosted by the throughput cargo traveling via its port line. It was estimated to be 13 million tons about 3 years ago. Since then there has been a mighty increase every year and there is no stopping the charge. Bypass roads of exemplary connectivity are already on the agenda and the city is more or less combined with a redeeming infrastructure of roadways.

Rijeka is bound extremely well with the suburban railway network of Croatia. As of now, the city is constantly building its graph and at this rate, it is bound to come up trumps in terms of its shipbuilding output.
