Kraljevica

Kraljevica (known as Porto Re in Italian and literally translated as "King's cove" in English) is a town in the Kvarner region of Croatia, located between Rijeka and Crikvenica, approximately thirty kilometers from Opatija and near the entrance to the bridge to the island of Krk.

[4] The town is known for its shipyard which has built a number of ships for the Croatian navy.

Today, in addition to having the oldest shipyard on the Adriatic,[5] Kraljevica's skyline is dominated by two medieval castles and a church of the Croatian nobles Zrinski and Frankopan.

Kraljevica's shipyard employed Josip Broz Tito, the former leader of Yugoslavia, during the first half of the 20th century in his early years of organizing for the Communist Party.

The Krk Bridge is located nearby, in the southeast part of the city.
