  The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes
by croisbeauty
 
 

Favorite thing: The Capucin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes is two-storey Neo-Gothic building finished in 1935 and designed by K. Budinic. Upon his pilgrimage to Lourdes, Bernardin Skrivanic, superior of Rijeka Capuchin monastery, decided to erect in Rijeka a representative building, hoping it would become a new centre of pilgrimage.
This church is favourite motive of Rijeka postcards.


Fondest memory: The Capuchin church is located on the Zabica Square, named after a long time disappeared fountain.
