Selce, Coastal resort village in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.
Selce is a coastal village that curves along a bay on the Adriatic, with pebble beaches, shallow water, and a modest fishing harbor. The settlement is small and compact, with buildings clustered near the waterfront and a calm shoreline for walking.
The village was acquired by the Frankopan noble family in the 13th century and grew from a simple fishing settlement into a regional trading hub. This transformation shaped the settlement's structure and its role for centuries afterward.
Fishing traditions shape daily life here, with boats anchored along the shore and locals mending nets on the waterfront. This connection to the sea remains visible in how the community uses its spaces and spends its time.
The village sits directly on the D8 coastal highway, offering convenient connections to nearby cities like Rijeka and Split. Bus stops are easy to reach in the center and provide multiple daily services to surrounding areas.
The village has been used for decades as a health resort for respiratory and rheumatic conditions, thanks to its special microclimate and sea air. Many visitors come specifically for therapeutic treatments in this healing setting.
