History of Opatija
One of the popular nicknames for Opatija is the "cradle of tourism". The first-holiday house in Opatija, the Villa Angiolina was built by Iginio Scarpa in 1844. That year is regarded as the beginning of tourism in town since the Villa Angiolina hosted many famous historical figures including Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria - Hungary, Empress Maria Anna, and the Croatian Ban Josip Jelačić.
