background

Remains of Roman villas have also been found in the Dramalj and Jadranovo districts. Dramalj is also famous for paleontological finds in Vrtare Male Cave. Well-preserved skeletons of elephants, cave lions, rhinos and some other now extinct species have been discovered there. These skeletons are approximately 30,000 years old.

The city is named after the church crkva of the Pauline monastery, which was built in 1412. This church was donated to the Paulins by Prince Nikola Frankopan IV. The corresponding deed of donation is the first document in which Crikvenica was mentioned by name. At the same place, at the mouth of the Dubracina River, there is now the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In 1891 the first hotel was opened in Crikvenica. A decade later, Crikvenica was officially declared a climatic health resort and developed into a preferred travel destination, especially for the Hungarian nobility during the time of the Danube Monarchy.
