Viškovo: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Viškovo, the House of the Halubje Bell Ringers presents its tradition in an educational, interactive exhibition featuring original historic objects and modern multimedia content. A permanent exhibition is dedicated to the annual procession of the bell ringers, which is included on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Connected with the Kastav area, the procession takes place during the carnival season in January; the bell ringers make their way through the villages of the northwestern Croatian Kastav region.
