Welcome to Kastav, Croatia!
Kastav, a town fortified by a town wall with nine defensive towers, was built on the ridge of Karst mountain (377 meters above sea level). It is situated very near Opatija (6 kilometres) and Rijeka (10 kilometres), only 20 kilometres from Rupa, the Croatio Slovenian border.
The history of Kastav is turbulent. Archeological discoveries confirm the presence of an Illyrian tribe of Japodi in 11th century B.C. on the site of today"s town. After them the town was governed by the Romans, Ostrogoths, Greeks, Lombards and in the 7th century the Croatians moved to the place and stayed here till today.
During the Middle Ages church authorities in Kastav region belonged to the bishops of Pula and from the middle of the 12th century the secular masters of Kastav were counts of Devin (from Duino, not far from Trieste) that were replaced by the counts of Walsea around 1400. Then the statute Law of the Town of Kastav from 1400, was registered and froma 1465 Kastav and its region became the property of the Habsburg family. From 1630 to 1773 the region of Kastav belonged to Jesuits. After abolition of Societi of Jesus, Kastav and its region were possessed by Austrian Court Chamber. The owners of Kastav exchanged until 1848 when the general liberty of land was declared and gentleman"s estates were abolished.
19th century is the period of national revival and a number of cultural institutions whic promoted the Croatian language and national identity was established. Than, the amateur cultural work started and it is also present today in the Kastavian region.
After the World War I, Kastav and its region experienced the destiny of the area divided between the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. After 1945 thay were re-united in Croatia, as a part of and indipendent Republic of Croatia, that gave Kastav back the status of town.

St. Jelena Križarica is the patroness of the town of Kastav.

4) In Lokvina, the central town square, there is Kaštel — a building built probably in the 14th century or in the beginning of the 15th century. Captains, who governed the town in the name of feudal masters, lived there. In 1770 the first public elementary school was founded in Kastav, and the lessons took place in the building of Kaštel. Today, in one wing of the modernized building there is the centre of municipal administration.
