      Rijeka architect I. Hencke designed the Orthodox Church of St Nicholas in 1787, and the street that leads from the City Tower connecting the Korzo promenade to the waterfront, bears his name. The Church\u2019s facade does not show any denominational affiliation; on the contrary, it entirely reflects the representations of the central European late Baroque period. The drafts of the original construction project with the architect\u2019s signature have been preserved. The construction of larger gates was ordered by the city authorities to ensure coastal cannons could be housed, if necessary. Although the building\u2019s location on the coastline of that time was actually detailed in a document by Rijeka\u2019s town planner and architect A. Gnamb, a legend about the construction of St. Nicholas\u2019 Church goes rather differently. Most of Rijeka\u2019s Orthodox community was formed by Serbian immigrants, who were the traditional mediators in the trade ties linking Austria and Turkey. It is said that at one time, upon their constant insistence, Rijeka\u2019s governor got so angry that he granted them a special \u201cbuilding licence\u201d. Standing on the seashore at that time in front of the City Tower, he cast a stone as far as he could into the sea, with the words \u201cbuild your church there\u201d. According to the legend, Rijeka\u2019s Orthodox citizens immediately started reclaiming and levelling the land in that area. To the north, in Adami\u0107eva Street, there were shops alongside the church which were redesigned by architect B. Slocovich at the beginning of the 20th century, very much in the Art Nouveau style.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
