In addition to contributing to the restoration of underwater biodiversity, this stone installation also conveys a message of individual engagement and taking responsibility for the world in which we live.

As a response to Nika Laginja's underwater project, Czech artist Jiří Kovanda created the minimalist site-specific art installation "1857" which found its permanent home at the very beginning of the Lungomare promenade.

Inspired by local nature and its history, Kovanda places his work near the birthplace of Andrija Mohorovičić, highlighting the distribution of the Adriatic Fucus, an endangered marine species today, back in 1857 when this prominent scientist was born.

The movie, in good part shot in the Opatja-Rijeka region, is the conceptual prequel of the international Tv Series "Sport Crime".

Daily thermal winds, locally known as Tramuntana, blow regularly from the north each morning, peaking just after sunrise and ending a few hours later.
