Rijeka has changed rulers and demographics many times, becoming a prize contested by the Holy Roman Empire, Venice, Italy and Yugoslavia. Today, Croatia’s principal seaport and third-largest city draws its identity from its excellent deep-water harbour on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea. Most residents are Croats, with smaller Serbian, Bosniak and Italian communities.
