Abstract
When on 18th January 1791, the Habsburg monarchy, during the time of Emperor Leopold II (1790-1792), abolished the so-called general seminaries i.e. the state educational institutions for future priests, the bishops could create high seminary schools with appertaining educational institutions, seminaries. Ivan Kstitelj Ježić (1789-1833), the bishop of Senj-Modruša made good use of this permission and established the seminary and theological school. Thus, the Archdiocese of Rijeka and the diocese of Gospić-Senj celebrate their 200th anniversary in honour of founding these institutions, established during Joseph’s times, with the aim to educate future priests.
