Events in Risika

Speaking of the events in Risika, the swimming marathon between Vrbnik and Risika, which takes place at the end of July, is definitely worth mentioning.

A unique experience is the manifestation "Gradec on the moonlight" which takes place in a special atmosphere in the abandoned medieval Frankopan fortress Gradec, near Risika.

We suggest that you also enjoy the folk festival of St. Jerolim in late September.

Church of St. Jerome, interesting archeological finds and dormant ruins

From the sights, we want to emphasize here the parish church of St. Jerome and the ruins of the fort Gradec, home of the Krk Counts Frankopans. Gradec is situated west of Risika, on the old road to the neighbor village Garica.

We must also mention the ruins of the church of St. Mark, above the homonymous sandy beach. Here are also the foundations of a Roman fortress and the remains of a Roman villa rustica are still visible under the sea. 

Risika was first mentioned in the 13th century and it is probably named after the plant heather (erica).
