Abstract

This article presents the imperial era of the Brijuni tourist resort, based on the family legacy of the Slovenian financial guard Jurij Turk. The focus is on the heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand, who was a frequent visitor to the Adriatic Sea as an advocate of strengthening the Hab sburg Monarchy's naval fleet, and who also visited Brijuni for health reasons. In addition to sources from the Turks' archives, press reports, including those of the Brioni Insel Zeitung, are also evaluated.
