Mošćenice, Medieval settlement in Kvarner Gulf, Croatia.
The settlement stands 173 meters above sea level on a hill, featuring stone houses, narrow streets, and views of the Kvarner Gulf.
Romans conquered this region in 177 BC, naming it Liburnia, before Croats established one of their first settlements around 620.
During Easter, residents participate in picanje jaja, a local competition where participants aim to pierce egg shells with coins.
Visitors can reach the settlement from Mošćenička Draga beach by climbing 753 steps or taking the road through the municipality.
The settlement maintains a working olive press using century-old methods to process olives in the traditional manner.
