Emperors, famous composers, and royals found the Opatija Riviera to be a place of endless inspiration and majestic sceneries. From the turn of the 19th century, it was one of the beloved healing resorts for the European Aristocracy. The tremendous heritage they left is shown today in extraordinary architecture and majestic landscapes spread out throughout Riviera.

Music is an unsurpassed inspiration

The inspiration was drawn from the famous musical composers visiting the Riviera – Puccini, Lehar, Kalman, and Mahler. This musical theme is seen in artworks and illustrations throughout Ikador. The very name Ikador is made of the words Ika (the town) and D’or (golden and musical octave Do), meaning Ika of gold and music.
