The old 14C Benedictine abbey, Opatija Sv. Jakova, from which the town derives its name is located in St. James's Park. St. James's church, built in 1506 now stands on the same spot.

This villa, transformed into a museum. Opatija is known for the Maiden with the seagull, a statue by Zvonko Car (1956).
