Kotor is situated on the southeastern part of Boka bay, on a foothill of the mountain Lovcen. The area of community of Kotor is 355 km2. Kotor is cultural, educational, economical and sport center of this area.
As the only fiord on the Mediterranean, Boka Kotorska was added to the list of twenty five the most beautiful bays in the world in July 2000, the others being mainly in Scandinavia. The history of Kotor can be traced to the most ancient times. In the surrounding caves there have been found various tools and ceramics witnessing humane existence from the Neolithic period, as well as drawings on the walls of the cave at Lipci near Risan.
In the antique period the Illyrian tribal state was the first organized humane community on these territories. Roman conquest began by the end of the third century BC and since the year 169 BC these territories had been under the rule of Rome, and then were taken over by the Byzantines. The first Slav tribes settled there in the 12th century. Its first state was Doclea, later called Zeta. Since the end of the 12th century Kotor was in power of the members of the Nemanjic Dynasty until 1420 when the Republic of Venice occupied it and stayed there until 1797, the time of the Napoleon wars in Europe. After the stormy period from 1797 to 1814 when this area was alternately under the Russians, French, Austrians and Montenegrins, at the Vienna Congress in 1814, Kotor became the constituent of the Austro-Hungary Monarchy and remained under the rule of Austro-Hungary until 1918 when this region became a part of Yugoslavia until its disintegration.
For its unique mixture of different cultures, Kotor entered the list of the world cultural heritage under the protection of the UNESCO. In the past, the most developed industry in this area was trade and maritime affairs. Seafarers used to bring different products from overseas which they would exchange for the goods they were in need of. In that way Kotor became one of the most important trading centers in this part of the Adriatic coast.

Italia Lucca 1 Un tesoro nascosto tra le sue murasandamichaela *
Lucca is a city and comune in Tuscany, Central Italy, situated on the river Serchio in a fertile plain near the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Lucca. Among other reasons, it is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. Lucca was once referred to as the “City of One Hundred Churches”. Today, the number has dwindled, yet the style, grace and beauty still impress. Opening to a relatively large piazza, the façade of San Frediano never fails to impress visitors with its glass, gold and precious stone inlaid mosaic. The Basilica was built during the 6thCentury and the current appearance of the church, very Romanesque in style, was completed in the 12th Century. Named for an Irish Bishop of Lucca (Fridianus), the interior of the church is striking in its austere simplicity.
Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini (1743 – 1805) the Italian classical era composer and cellist whose music retained a courtly and galante style while he matured somewhat apart from the major European musical centers, was born in Lucca, Italy, into a musical family.

Hoe kun je voortbouwen op de sociale monumentaliteit van een plek? Wat zijn de redenen dat de leegstand van religieus erfgoed epidemische vormen aanneemt in Nederland? Het onderzoek spitst zich vervolgens toe om de vraag hoe sociale monumentaliteit van de Julianakerk (door brand verwoest) op een wijze dat Heijplaat daarvan kan profiteren? Was het van belang dat het nog niet als monument was aangemerkt door gemeente of Rijk? Was het niet een sociaal monument, door de gebeurtenissen op die plek? Een plek kan op verschillende manier waarde krijgen voor een groep mensen, een gemeenschap. De waarde kan zijn historisch, wetenschappelijk of cultureel. Hetzelfde gebouw op een andere plek zou geen waarde hoeven hebben omdat de gemeenschap het geen waarde toekent. Onderscheid wordt gemaakt in ruimtelijke en sociale monumentaliteit. Door middel van gesprekken met bewoners en stakeholders (op alle niveaus) is zij zelf ook eigenaar van het monument geworden. Het heeft een besef gegeven over de kansen en beperkingen van het herontwikkelen van leegstaand religieus erfgoed als plekken van sociale en ruimtelijke centraliteit in onze steden en buurten. De gaten die door leegstand zijn ontstaan zouden opnieuw kunnen worden gevuld. Nadere onderzoeksvragen waren: 1. Wat zijn essentiële juridische momenten om een object als een kerk te kunnen aankopen. 2.welke delen van het proces kunnen worden verbeterd en wat zijn de lessen die van de herontwikkeling van de Julianakerk kunnen worden geleerd.
It takes money to make things happen. Money enables you to hire craftsmen, build advocacy campaigns, purchase materials and equipment, and much more. Asking for funding doesn’t have to be a daunting challenge, though. No matter your approach, there is one universal truth about fundraising: People give because someone asked them.
This toolkit provides you with some fundamental steps for fundraising. If you can put these basics into practice, then you will increase your chances of turning an ask into financial support for your great preservation work.
An essential part of ensuring the preservation of old places is ensuring community support. In this installment of the How to Save a Place series, we’re sharing ways you can draw attention and build support for your project. Methods range from public relations to community tours.
While these strategies are not a replacement for community participation in the preservation process (which is paramount for any any preservation project) here are a variety of tools, techniques, and tips to help you shine a light on the places you love.
Continuing with our special toolkit series on how to save a place, today we're focusing on taking the first steps towards actually saving the historic place that matters to you.
First, you’ll need to do your research on exactly what makes your place historically significant and understand the threats to your site’s long-term survival.
The 12 tips in this toolkit will help you develop a strong foundation on which to build your preservation efforts.
In our "How to Save a Place" toolkit series, we've covered a lot of ground: managing your expectations during a preservation project; understanding the difference between federal, state, and local groups; learning the fundraising basics; sorting through the various types of historic designations, and more. Now, it's time to start thinking like an advocate, because getting other people to support your project—from your friends and neighbors to government officials—will be critical to the success of your preservation efforts.
If you want to protect a place near and dear to your heart, but aren’t sure where to begin, this toolkit is for you. It provides a solid framework for turning your concern for a historic spot into meaningful, lasting action.
So, without further ado, let’s walk through the steps that can help make your vision of a protected place a reality:
Exploring architecture with kids from an early age can help foster their creativity and expose them to potential new hobbies and career paths. From building a play fort to hosting an architecture-themed birthday party, this toolkit will give you fun ideas for making architecture more understandable for kids.
Renovating your historic home can be a significant undertaking depending on the scope of the project and the condition of the property—and choosing the proper contractor and architect is crucial to your project’s overall success. For those interested in renovating their historic home, here’s a guide for selecting and working with professional contractors and architects.
Historic designations are a go-to tool that professional preservationists consider when trying to save a historic site or property. However, for people who don’t spend their days steeped in saving places, it’s not always easy to determine what separates a national landmark from a local one—not to mention all the stops in between.
This guide will help you better understand the difference between federal, state, and local designations, their benefits, and their application processes.
Whether you’re looking for a change of scenery or are putting your place on the market, redecorating the interior of your historic house should be approached differently than a typical redecoration project.
Similar to the facade, the interior of your house not only reflects its residents’ taste, but it also broadcasts certain messages about its history. Just as with preserving a historic structure’s exterior, retaining its interior aesthetic is about maintaining our tangible past in a livable way.
Whether your personal taste veers towards utilitarian industrial or comfortable traditionalist, there are countless ways in which to preserve your house’s interior features while decorating it in the way you like. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Any career preservationist (and many amateurs) can relate to the frustration of realizing even one photograph of an altered structure could prove invaluable to a modern-day restoration or research project.
For those of us who love historic buildings and might be working on a rehabilitation, for example, it’s important to document what you see before the structure begins to change. Once you alter physical aspects of a structure, you can never return it to what it was.
In the end, maintaining a record of your property means that no matter what happens in the future, you and others will be able to know precisely what was once there. Explore six simple ways to create that invaluable record and ensure the legacy of the historic structure that matters to you.
Whether you’ve just moved into your dream historic house or have called it home for some time, it can be daunting to know what improvements are safe (and advisable) to tackle on your own. To help you out, we asked four preservation trades experts for their top recommended DIY projects.
Whether you are a student, a historic homeowner, a retiree, or anyone in between, there is a program out there for you to learn building preservation trades.
Having the skills to approach projects on historic buildings is important to maintaining the building's integrity and honoring the original builders. For those who love working with their hands, finding inspiration from rebuilding something that needs some attention, or working with a team to save a place that is filled with history and meaning, this guide is for you!
Oral histories are an ancient way of sharing knowledge from generation to generation and a great resource for learning more about place, whether it is a specific site, the history of a community that is still present, or one that has been lost. According to the Oral History Association, oral history refers to “the interview process and the products that result from a recorded spoken interview (whether audio, video or other formats).”
Are you ready to get out there and get some stories? Grab your recording device, because we are sharing 9 tips on how you can get started with conducting your own oral history interview with your family or members of the community.
Once you've decided whether you need to restore or rehabilitate your historic house, the next step is deciding whether you want to DIY it or hire a professional.
Taking on a restoration or rehabilitation project can be enjoyable if you like hands-on work, whereas hiring a professional can save you time. Or, you might want to do a little of both, where you work on the projects you’re passionate about and contract experts to finish the rest.
Whatever approach you take, the decision involves knowing how much time and money you want to spend, what your interests are, and what skills you’re looking to hire someone for. This list of questions will help you explore different types of professionals who can help you, plus important things to consider before hiring them.
The preservation term rehabilitate can be defined as: "To repair a structure and make it usable again while preserving those portions or features of the property that are historically and culturally significant."
To successfully rehabilitate a historic building, though, it's important to know more than just the definition. While every project will have different needs and solutions, this handy reference guide of 10 basic principles will help you start your rehabilitation project on the right foot.
After you’ve researched your historic home’s history and determined whether you’re restoring or rehabilitating it, you can start planning your project. You can take on as many or as few aspects of planning as your little home-owning heart desires. But no matter who helms the project, planning should include these integral steps.
Once you’ve found your dream historic home (and learned how to finance it), how do you inspect it to make sure it’s in good condition? Obviously a professional inspection—which will cover many of these same areas, but with greater depth and accuracy—is necessary as you move from looking to buying, but knowing what to look for while you're shopping around can help you make your decision too.
You’ve found your dream historic house and figured out its style (parts one and two), so now it’s time to figure out how to pay for it all.
Purchasing a house is a complex process, with many steps, costs, and decisions along the way. When you’re buying a historic house in particular, there are a few different elements and terms you’ll want to be aware of ahead of time so you can prepare and plan accordingly.
Here’s what you need to know about financing your historic house.
According to the National Park Service, "the National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation." Indeed, when you scroll through the National Register database online, you find thousands of America's historic places. Of course, there are many more places worthy of preserving that help tell the full American story. But the National Register is one official way of recognizing a place’s value.
To help you learn more about this resource, we've collected—and answered—11 frequently asked questions about the National Register of Historic Places.
One way preservationists can express their love for old buildings? Live in one. After all, older and historic homes bring with them craftsmanship, unique details, a sense of history, and (for the handy among us) an opportunity to restore a home to its former glory.
But finding and buying a historic home can be daunting if you’re not familiar with real estate, financing, historic building and district regulations, and inspection procedures. While we have a variety of resources available on how to find, inspect, purchase, and rehabilitate your old-but-new-to-you property, let’s start at the very beginning: with how (and where) to find your historic dream home.

2. Situated in Kvarner Bay, a deep inlet of the Adriatic Sea, Rijeka has for centuries served as an important
link to the middle European hinterland. Its name, which was recorded for the first time in the thirteenth
century, hails from the river of Rječina (also known through history as Fiumara, or Fiume, in Italian) that
flows through the city. Rijeka’s first port was developed along the Rječina estuary.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
3. Along with Italy’s Trieste, its big rival, Rijeka
was granted the status of “free port” in 1719
from the Hapsburg emperor, Charles VI.
This signaled the end of the Venetian
domination of the Adriatic and the
Mediterranean, and heralded rapid
development of commerce and industry in
both cities. The competitiveness of the cities
grew stronger after 1867, when the dual
monarchy of Austro-Hungary was
established. Rijeka became the Hungary’s
de facto seaport, while Trieste carried that
role for Austria.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
4. Plans for the expansion of the port outside the Rječina riverbed and into the open sea were developed
and implemented from 1872 through 1914. Some of those expansion projects, pictured here in a 1910s
postcard, were presented as model ports at the world exhibitions in Vienna in 1873 and in Paris in 1878.

5. Antal Hajnal, a Hungarian engineer, was put in charge of executing a plan proposed by Hilarion
Pascal, who was a well-known French engineer of the ports of Marseilles, La Specia, and – after Rijeka –
Istanbul. A major breakwater - Molo Longo – more than a mile long (1,780 meters) was built to protect the
newly-constructed port, followed by four major piers. The Molo Longo, shown here, opened to the public in
2009.

6. Following a 1750 decree by Maria Theresa granting Dutch merchants the right to establish a sugar company in
Rijeka, the Trieste-Rijeka Privileged Company completed the Sugar Refinery Main Administrative Building in
1752, beginning the industrialization of the city. The building was located on the then-existing waterfront just east
of the Holy Emperor Charles VI Quarantine, built in 1726 and is pictured here in an 1832 engraving by C. Von
Mayr.
PHOTO: “LOKALPATRIOTI RIJEKA”
7. The Main Administrative Building, also known as the Palace of the Sugar Refinery, also served as the
residence of a succession of the company’s directors. The building's interior is lavishly decorated with
stuccos, frescos and ceramic stoves.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
8. A detail of the 19th century sculptural decoration of the Palace of the
Sugar Refinery, keystone heads with “sugar cubes” in their hair.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
9. In 1824 the production of sugar at the refinery ceased. From 1835-1851 the buildings were used as
military barracks. In 1851 the complex became the largest Austro-Hungarian tobacco factory (eventually
manufacturing Virginia cigarettes). The palace received minor additions to the back and a few additional
production buildings were added within the complex.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
10. During World War II, the complex sustained some damage during Allied bombardments. In 1949, a boat engine manufacturer named after a
Yugoslavian World War II hero, Rikard Benčić, opened and operated on the premises until 1998, when the company declared bankruptcy. It has
been abandoned since that time. Currently, the Croatian Conservation Institute is conducting a multiyear comprehensive conservation and
restoration of the Palace. Also, plans to bring in the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Rijeka Central Library in into the four
buildings are currently underway. Pictured here is an Allied airplane over the Rijeka port during one of the bombardments in 1944.

Register of Cultural Properties in 2002

remained operational, making tractors until 1994, when the company declared bankruptcy.

13. The warehouse complex Metropolis (Numbers 18 through 22) was constructed between 1909 and 1914.The
complex is rich in details of Hungarian Art Nouveau and consists of five warehouses connected with seven
reinforced concrete bridges, added in 1914. The whole complex was added to the Croatian Register of Cultural
Properties in 2005.
PHOTO: “LOKALPATRIOTI RIJEKA,” GORGOROTH
14. The ceilings in the Number 12 and 13 warehouses (1893) were built using the Joseph Monier system
of reinforced concrete construction and are among the last remaining examples of this construction in
the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Behind them is the 1962-completed silo.

16. Mlin Žakalj, built in 1840, was the largest
flour mill on river Rječina. Heirs of the mill’s
last owner, Robert Whitehead of the Rijeka
Torpedo factory, were not interested in
it, and since the early 20th century this
property was left to deteriorate. In this
postcard a bridge, destroyed in World War
II, is visible spanning the river Rječina.

18. The Paper Mill complex circa 1910. Opened in 1821 along the river Rječina in a beautiful ravine north
of downtown Rijeka, the factory steadily grew and exported paper worldwide. As of the 1890s, it
specialized in the production of cigarette paper.
PHOTO: WIKIPEDIA, CITY MUSEUM RIJEKA
19. A hydroelectric power plant was put in use in 1930 to provide power to the paper mill and the city. In 1991, just before the
start of the war that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia, it was the second largest cigarette paper factory in Europe. In
1996, production began to decline after the plant was privatized, and its owners declared bankruptcy in 2005. The City of
Rijeka bought several buildings in upper part of the complex, known as Marganovo, which is now leased to a network of
cultural organizations.
PHOTO: IVICA JUREŠA
20. The post World War II warehouse zone located in the Delta and Port Baross area slated for revitalization
is currently the focus of an international architectural competition. Greening this part of the port is a key
component of the Rijeka’s Master Urban Development Plan. The purpose of this plan is to enhance and
expand public open space and is calling for a community’s planning vision for their waterfront.

21. Built as a merchant vessel in 1938 to transport bananas from Somalia to Italy, then refitted as an Italian Royal Navy auxiliary cruiser and later as a minelayer for the Germans
during the World War II, sunk and salvaged twice, the “Galeb” became famous as the presidential yacht of Yugoslavian President Tito. Tito used it on his numerous foreign
trips, especially to countries of the Non-Aligned Movement. After the fall of Yugoslavia, it was sold to a company in Liberia, which left it for over a decade to deteriorate in a
Rijeka shipyard. The Galeb was added to the Croatian Register of Cultural Properties in 2006, and as of 2009 is owned by the City of Rijeka. The City is currently viewing several
different options for its proper restoration and reuse and, as funds permit, is contributing toward its maintenance in order to keep it afloat.
