Restaurant Argonauti & Cafe Wagner

The historic villa Milenij was built in the late 20th century according to the project of the famous architect Carl Seidl. As a confirmation of success, two years later, in the Vienesse magazine, an article was published speaking specifically about Villa Milenij being a definition of architectural excellence in an effort to maximally adjust to the Opatija Riviera landscape. The final phase of the construction of the hotel is 1924, when, according to the architect’s project documentation, a ballroom (today’s Argonauti restaurant) was added.. The walls of the hall were painted by the Viennese painter Karl Ludwig Hassman with Greek mithology served as his theme. Today, you can see the unique frescoes in the Argonauts restaurant and remember the famous legend of the Argonauts related to the Kvarner Bay.
