Culture and history

Island and the town of the same name Rab offer an amazing variety of landscapes, beautiful beaches, long and pleasant hiking trails, cultural monuments from pre-Roman times, which characterize especially the historical town of Rab with its four bell towers and much more.
The island was settled by the Illyrians in 350 B.C. and became a Roman municipium in the 1st century, becoming an important centre on the eastern Adriatic coast under the name of Felix Arba (Arb is an Illyrian word meaning dark, luxuriant and green) (Felix the Happy).
The island's heyday began between the second half of the 11th century and lasted until the 13th century, when Rab was ruled under Croatian rule and the Republic of Venice as a free Adriatic commune. In the 15th century Rab was sold to Venice and remained Venetian until 1798, when Napoleon came to this area.
The rich cultural heritage (over 2000 years) of the island is celebrated every year with a special medieval festival.
Particularly interesting is the story about the local stonemason Marinus, who moved to the Apennine Peninsula and founded the Republic of San Marino there in the 4th century. Today St. Marinus is the patron saint of Lopar and a particularly important figure for the population.

You can explore the culture and history of the island for a few hours with a guide.
