Rijeka

City in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia

Rijeka ( ree-EK-ə, ree-AY-kə, ree-YEK-ə, Croatian: [rijěːka] ; local Chakavian: Reka or Rika; Slovene: Reka, Italian: Fiume, is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia. It is located in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and in 2021 had a population of 108,622 inhabitants. Historically, because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially between the Holy Roman Empire, Italy and Croatia, changing rulers and demographics many times over centuries. According to the 2011 census data, the majority of its citizens are Croats, along with small numbers of Serbs, Bosniaks and Italians.
