Rab is one of Crotian islands, founded back in the 1st century BC. Apparently it was ruled by the Venetians up til the late 1700's before it became a part of Croatia. It's a bustling touristy town and full of historical buildings and well known of its 4 bell towers.
Thank you so much dear Anja for sending card from your vacation.
"The town of Rab sits on a narrow sliver of land protruding towards the mainland, bounded by ancient city walls and recognisable by four church towers that form the familir outline, depicting Rab as a ship with four masts: bell tower of the church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - the cathedral, the bell tower of the church of St. John the Evangelist (located near the ruins of the Church), the belfry of the church of St. Andrew the Apostle and the bell tower of the church of St. Justine. Further inland from the old town is a beautiful park called Komrčar, whose numerous paths wind around wooded hills all the way down to the beaches of Rab." Source.
