#12 Rijeka – candidate city for ECoC 2020 Mystery Cache

Support the candidacy of Rijeka for European Capital of Culture 2020.

Da Rijeka ima groblje kućnih ljubimaca malo je poznato, čak i Riječanima. O njemu se tako malo zna, iako je uz pariško i londonsko jedno od najstarijih u Europi. Jedino groblje kućnih ljubimaca u Hrvatskoj smješteno u Lukovićima na Kozali, jedinstveni je kulturni spomenik koji svjedoči o dugoj tradiciji ljubavi i brige za životinje na ovim prostorima. Svjedok je da su Riječani i prije stotinu godina bili ispred svog vremena jer su u to vrijeme pse i mačke smatrali članovima svoje obitelji i odnosili se prema njihovoj smrti s potpunim poštovanjem. Danas, 100 godina kasnije, s time se malo gradova u svijetu može podičiti.

That Rijeka has a pet cemetery is little known, even to citizens of Rijeka. Although with the Paris and London is one of the oldest in Europe . The only pet cemetery in Croatia is situated in Lukovići in Kozala, it is a unique cultural monument , which bears witness to the long tradition of love and care for animals in this region . The witness to the citizens of Rijeka and a hundred years ago was ahead of its time because at that time dogs and cats are considered members of his family and treated their death with complete respect. Today, 100 years later, with the few cities in the world can boast.
