Tourist info Bribir

Bribir is a small village in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in Croatia. It is situated on a hill in the interior between Novi Vinodolski and Crikvenica. From Novi Vinodolski is only 5 kilometers away. In the Middle Ages, it was the seat of the famous Croatian noble family Frankopan counts. It's great economic and cultural boom was in the time of prince Bernardin Frankopan, which further reinforced the castle and town walls. Frankopans ruled this area until the mid-19th century when the walls and citadel were destroyed and today remained only remains, including a tower and part of the northern walls. The village is dominated by the Church of St. Peter and Paul, built in the 16th century and later rebuilt in Baroque style, which has a rich treasury of sacred art and statues. Bribir today has about 1500 inhabitants who work in agriculture and viticulture but are also engaged in tourism thanks to its unique location between the mountains and the sea.
