Abstract

The author presents literary sources on Rijeka Dubrovačka from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century. Besides verses inspired by Rijeka’s landscape are also shorter travel accounts and notes on the Ombla and its mouth. It inspired foreign authors as well, some accidently passing through or staying longer (e. g. Fortis). The previously mentioned literary works mostly short in from, concern the way of living in Rijeka (summer houses and their noble owners, but also fishermen, peasants growing olive trees and vineyards, but above all the pleasant climate and wonderful nature dominated by water.
The author points the influence of Rijeka Dubrovačka natural surroundings and especially its mouth (Bullentum de Ombla) on Držić’s literary work.
