There is also the old citadel, the Sergius Arch, Gate of Hercules and many other historical landmarks. </span></div>

<b>The golden age of Mali Lošinj</b><br />

The golden age for the town was the end of the 19th century when because of seafaring the small village turned into a maritime town. Due to the big chances and the maritime crisis in the area, because of passing from sail boats to stream boats, is seemed that the destiny of this city was ended. Upon discovering the health benefits of the climate, and growing of the tourism, a new beginning in the island's history was open.<br />

In Roman times, the area was home to several patrician villas. The person who first discovered the beautiful Opatija was Iginio Scarpa, a merchant from Rijeka who built his holiday home here in 1844 and named it the Villa Angiolina. This event marked the beginning of tourism in Opatija. The place started intensely developing under the supervision of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.<br />
