Rijeka Petar Druzic Stairway

The Petar Druzic Stairway in Rejika is part of the pilgrimage path to the Church of Our Lady of Trsat (Gospa Trsatske). The lower portion of the stairway, which leads from Krizaniceva ulica, was built by Captain Petar Kruzic of Klis in 1531. The stairs were later added on to, reaching 538 steps in total. They lead up through the Rjecina Gorge on a steep climb. Along the Petar Druzic Stairway are chapels dedicated to various saints and used as resting areas for participants of the pilgrimage to Our Lady of Trsat. The stairs are not the only method of reaching the church, there is also a public transportation option.
