The first photo was taken on July 2005. It shows the city of Bakar from the south, on the Jadransja Magistrale, the main road. In the background, another segment of the main road can be seen.
The second photo is a close-up on the gigantic chimney that stands on the outskirts of the city. This kind of "monument" does not bring many tourists !
The third photo is a close-up on the quays and the small harbor. This is the parts of the city called "Zagrad" and "Primorje". This landscape is much more appealing ! Leave a Comment |
The present day appearance is the result of numerous reconstructions and adaptations. The irregular trangle-like foundation of the Castle can be dated back to the 16th century.

A more regular triangle-like ground-plan can be noticed at the southern two-storey residential part of the Castle, probably made so in the 17th century. The northern front of the Castle is also of interest. |
