Riva

The Riva is Stara Luka's stone quay: a 135 m band of big, calm limestone slabs along the harbour, and the town's front door to the sea.

Overview

  • 10 m wide, with at least 7.5 m of clear quay between the water and the building line (measured 8.1–17.9 m).
  • Level at Y 1.2 on made ground (quay fill).
  • Faces SSE: sun all day.
  • Bollards every 8 m; mooring lines run from the boats to them.

Along the riva (west to east)

  • The boat sheds, net lofts and the škver slip at the west end.
  • Konoba Kod Frane, the inn, with its vine terrace looking at the pier.
  • The pier square and the root of the Veli mul.
  • The fish market.
  • The riva houses: the salters, the harbour master, the chandler and a leut family.
  • The armory and the kula at the east tip, where the shore path leaves for the Glavica.

Dressing

Catch sorting at the pier foot, a net-mending corner, lamp posts on gallows, nets drying on racks, and every trade's goods at its own door. The riva keeps a clear walking lane of at least 6.8 m everywhere.

Gameplay

The riva is a 135 m fighting strip. From its east end the Octagon stands only about 82–90 m away across the water.

Development

The quay was rebuilt in wave 2026-09-29c as one mitred wall with big calm slabs, one soft foam line and a wet band; its wear pass (RIVA-W1) is still to come.
