Introducing Senj

The old settlement town of Senj is founded 3,000 years ago. It was passed from the Roman hands who named the town Senia while maintaining its importance as a port for exchange of goods and culture to the Hungarian and some tribes throughout its history.

Senj also provided the base for the development of the ancient Glagolic alphabets. It houses one of the oldest Glagolic printing press in Southeastern Europe which was established in 1494.

Senj is geographically located between the two major towns in Croatia namely Rijeka and Zadar. Running along its 76km long Adriatic coastline, the Jadranska magistrala is the old road that links Rijeka to the south. For visitors who wish to take the slow and scenic route along Croatia's coastline (from North to South), this is the choice. And of course, you will avoid paying the expensive road toll on the Zagreb-Split Autocesta.
