It is set in a building which was built in 1941as a military fortress. Subsequently, in 2001, a telescope was built there Rijeka’s first observatory was established, by installing a new planetarium hall into an already existing fortress. The Astronomical Center now encompasses an observatory, planetarium and other additional contents for learning more about astronomy. Special presentations are organized for foreign tourists every Wednesday at 22:00.
