It is located on the seashore. There is a legend that seagulls are the souls of sailors who did not return from the sea. And in the city of Opatija there is a seagull who is"in love" with the sculpture. They say that a couple in love lived on the coast for a long time. The young sailor went to sea and never returned. Beloved throughout her life was waiting for him, and every day she went to the seashore. Seeing such love, it was decided to erect a monument - a sculpture of a young woman with a seagull in her hands. After some time, a seagull began to circle over the monument. She sat on the sculpture for a long time, not allowing other birds to approach her. Locals believe that this soul of a young sailor has returned. Currently, the stones around the sculpture are illuminated, and in the evening the monument looks even more beautiful and expressive. / p>   We also recommend reading Church of St. James in Croatia, Opatija resort Topic: Statue”Girl with a seagull” in Croatia, resort Opatija. |
