Rijeka - Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes Kapucinska Crkva
Built in the early 1900s on the 50th anniversary of the miracle of Lourdes, the Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes (Kapucinska Crkva), is one of the town's self proclaimed highlights. It is the main feature on many Rijeka postcards and promotional material. The Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes was designed by Budinic, although the project ran into financial problems and was stalled for years.
