Historically, because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially between the Holy Roman Empire, the Republic of Venice, the Kingdom of Italy and Yugoslavia, changing rulers and demographics many times over centuries.
According to the 2021 census data, 85% of its citizens are Croats, along with small numbers of Serbs, Bosniaks and Italians.
Rijeka is the main city and county seat of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. Historically shaped by various ruling powers—including the Habsburg Monarchy, Italy (while being Free State of Fiume), and Yugoslavia—Rijeka has developed a diverse cultural heritage reflected in its architecture, language, and traditions.
