Nestled in the heart of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, western Croatia, Opatija is a resplendent gem with a history as fascinating as its landscape is beautiful. The town's story begins in the Middle Ages, developing around a Benedictine abbey dedicated to Saint Jacob. Modern Opatija, however, started to take shape in 1844 with the building of Villa Angiolina by a wealthy merchant, marking the town's first steps towards becoming a coveted seaside resort.

Opatija's growth was further bolstered by the opening of a railway line in 1873 by the Austrian Southern Railway, connecting the town to Rijeka via Matulji and opening doors for tourism. The railway company would later purchase Villa Angiolina, accommodating prestigious guests and earning Opatija the title of "first climatic seaside resort on the Austrian Riviera".
