Aerial view - Walkaround : Senj - Croatia Hrvatska : PART 3

Senj is a town on the upper Adriatic coast in Croatia, in the foothills of the Mala Kapela and Velebit mountains. The symbol of the town is the Nehaj Fortress which was completed in 1558. Senj is a historic walled town and the largest town between Zadar and Rijeka. In the 16th century it became a base for the Uskoks who were Croatians driven from their homes by the Ottoman invasion. They were a feared fighting force continually provoking both the Turkish and Venetian vessels with their own pirate fleets painted black and red; the colour of death and blood. Senj has apparently been inhabited since prehistoric times. A settlement called Athyinites in today's Senj was mentioned in Greek documents dated to 4th century BC Senj was a thriving town in the Roman province of Dalmatia, used by the Romans as a stronghold against the Illyrians in the 2nd century BC. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Avars and the Croatians eventually settled here in the 7th century AD. The Catholic diocese of Senj was established in 1169 and the King of Hungary gave the town to the Knights Templar in 1184. In more recent times and in the fall of 1943, during World War II, when Fascist Italy capitulated, the Partisans took control of Senj and used it as a supply port. Subsequently, the Luftwaffe started bombarding the town. By the end of the year, they had demolished over half of the buildings in town and inflicted heavy civilian casualties. ___________________________________________________________________________ We welcome you to comment, click the 'thumbs up' / 'like' button if you enjoyed the content and please click to subscribe; subscribing is TOTALLY free and helps with our channel.
