Memorial Centre Lipa Remembers

The Memorial Centre contains exhibits documenting the events of April 30, 1944, when German forces executed 269 local civilians in Lipa village.

German military forces, along with Italian and Chetnik collaborators, carried out a systematic elimination of the village population during the Braunschweig offensive in 1944.

The permanent exhibition presents photographs, documents, and personal objects that belonged to the families who lived in this Liburnian settlement before the tragedy.

Located 27 kilometers from Rijeka, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday and offers guided tours in multiple languages with advance reservation.

The Memorial Centre stands on the exact location where an earlier museum operated from 1968 to 1989, preserving the connection to local memory.
