A self-guided walking game through the heart of Rijeka, built around a true local legend: in the late 1700s fourteen false witnesses, a marquise, a governor and a son who took his family's case to the emperor in Vienna. The statues of those witnesses still stand at the former Governor's Palace. You follow the story on your phone and solve puzzles hidden in facades, squares and market stalls, at your own pace.
Along the way the app shares the history of each place: the Baroque facelift the City Clock Tower got after the 1750 earthquake, the night Verdi's Aida brought electric light to the Ivan pl. Zajc theatre, and why the Leaning Tower leans. Hints are built in and chat support answers around the clock.
The flat route starts at the Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, runs along Korzo, crosses the Defenders' Bridge into the old town and ends at Palach Klub, close to the start. About 3 km, 90 to 120 minutes. Easy and family-friendly, ideal for history lovers.
