Step into the neoclassical villa that merchant Iginio Scarpa built in 1844 and named for his late wife, the spark that turned a fishing hamlet into an imperial resort. Wander the surrounding park where camellias, magnolias and palms from across the empire still bloom. Inside, the Croatian Museum of Tourism tells the story of the elegant age that followed.
