Once a part of the robust construction of the old city, the City Tower is now a well-known and familiar symbol of Rijeka. It also represents an example of the ideal access point. The tower was originally built in the Middle Ages, but it was modified during the Baroque period, as you can see from the ornaments characteristic for this period’s architecture and art.
Up until World War I, there was a statue of a two-headed eagle set on the top of the City Tower, but Austrian soldiers removed it to make a statement. The City Tower still stands as a testament to the many changes throughout the ages.
