Bakar is a small city (about 6000 inhabitants) south of Rijeka at the end of Bakar bay. It is an important and natural port with long tradition (which is one of the reasons why such small palce gets city rights, otherwise city is defined as that with more then 10000 inhabitants, only if special historical or other reasons make exception).Bakar was granted coat of arms to gether with civic rights in 1799 by Empress Maria Theresia.In modern Croatia, Bakar was formed as community in 1992/93 and was upgraded to civic status in 1997.
The town consists of two parts namely the Grad and Primorje. Grad is the old part of the town and retains the old world charms amongst its museums and ancient structures. While Primorje is the new section of the town of Bakar. Primorge is the new section of the town. It is tucked towards the coastal region.
