Hello everyone, I hope that you are all good
I see you again today in a new video format
Where I will present you the town of Senj which is situated in Croatia
I apologize in advance for the time I took to make this video
So, without make you wait again, and if you are interested, I let you see the following of this video
Senj is a little town historical, in the north west of Croatia which has more than 3000 years
It's one of the oldest town in the north of the Adriatic
At the foot of the mountains Kapela and Velebit
Senj is located on the coastal road which connects Rijeka with the south of the country
Before the construction of the highway
This route was the main one for all those who were traveling to the south of the country
At the entrance of the city, there is a sundial which is placed on the 45th parallel
which shows that it is exactly in the center between the Equator and the North Pole
Arriving in Senj, you can walk along the harbor with a beautiful view of the sea and the city to discover it just after
At the entrance of the old town of Senj, is located a large gate named Velika Vrata
Which is the accomplishment of the historical road of Josephina
Not far, is located the Kolan river which passed all the way through the city and flocked to the sea
This river is now, completely dry
After crossing the Velika Vrata, you won't miss Clinica Square
On the place of the abandoned clinic
With its small fountain in the center
Before being a parking the most of the time
At the evening, sometimes, takes place many events where gather singers and dancers
Who go on stage
They know how to set the mood
And make their spectators dance
On this evening, these singers and dancers came from Brazil to present us their show
These artists asked the public to give their hand to another people and make a "Dança circular"
Translated by "Circular dance" in english
In order to all come together in a big round
The atmosphere was warm and full of life
Walking inside the old town, you can lose yourself through the alleys
Will take you everywhere and nowhere at the same time
Like, for example in the street of the uscoques or "Uskocka Ulica" that is here
Leaving the old town, you will see there are still remains of ramparts
These ramparts allowed the fortification of the city and surrounded it entirely in order to protect it from attacks and wars
Without doubt, you won't miss the fortress of Nehaj which is located on the hill overlooking the city
To reach it, you will have to walk along a path that will allow you, to have a magnificent view of the old town and its brick roofs
The symbol of Senj is well and truly this historical fortress of Nehaj
which means "Don't be afraid"
It was built in 1558
And it was the center of the Uskoks who were Croatian pirates settled on the Adriatic
Who successfully defended the city against the strong army of the Ottoman Empire
A restaurant is located outside and inside of the fortress
And if you buy a ticket, you could make a visit of the museum
Telling more about the history of the Uskoks and the history of the town
Climbing to the top of the fortress
You can have the view of the islands of a side
Of the mountains in an other
Or again of the old town and the harbor
This visit worth it if you will come to Senj
Nowadays, Senj is a touristic and coastal town, attractive for it's history and for its architecture

Is one which is located the farthest from the city center
To go there

which will take you to a small cove where the water is very clear
It's the most remote beach from the sounds of the city
So, if the steps do not scare you, The Plaza Voda beach is waiting for you

Offering a big choice of menus
Our favorite restaurant is Konoba Lavlji Dvor
Translated by Lionheart in english
We always find our happiness in their dishes
The wait is not that long
The prices are more than reasonable
and the waiters are always sympathetic with us
Inside the restaurant, the decoration is rustic which give a warm atmosphere
It's been many times that we've came there
whether at midday to lunch
On afternoon to have a little drink
Or at the evening to celebrate a birthday
And we never get disappointed
For the activities and things to do
In the city center of Senj
There are a looooot of shops
As many souvenirs shops
A market opened approximately everyday
And two supermarkets at the entrance of Senj

Or to do your little daily weight training session
Not far,
You can have a rest at the park of the town
Protected by a lot of trees
which will allow you to stay in the shade
and enjoy the fresh air and the wind from the sea
If you prefer make a little tour out of the town
You can make an excursion with a boat from Senj to the islands in front, as the Krk island

But before concluding, i prepared some bonus
you have to know that the German novelist, Kurt Held
was inspired a lot by this city to write his novel Zora the readhead and her band
following the adventures of a group of teenagers
who are orphans and live in ruins of a castle being actually the fortress of Nehaj
Later, the German director fritz umgelter
will rehabilitate the book into a series of 13 episodes
that he will shoot in that same city
we took the opportunity to reproduce some small scenes of the film exactly in the same place as the original ones
