Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Shrine of Our Lady of Trsat a place of pilgrimage
Rijeka's Franciscan Marian shrine preserves the Trsat Holy House tradition, a venerated image, votive memory, and the 2003 pilgrimage of St. John Paul II. The Holy House story is received tradition, not a claim that the present Trsat buildings are the house now venerated at Loreto.
Climb from Rijeka toward Trsat for Franciscan prayer, votive memory, Holy House tradition, and the city's great Marian view over Kvarner Bay.
