Senj – Reisgids Kroatië

A historic port town on the northern Adriatic coast, once the stronghold of the legendary Uskoks — fierce 16th-century pirates who defied the Ottoman Empire and Venice from their fortress of Nehaj. The Nehaj Fortress looming above the town is Senj's defining landmark and offers dramatic views over the Velebit Channel, one of the windiest sea straits in Europe. The old town features Baroque architecture, the Cathedral of the Assumption, and a lively waterfront promenade.
