Biography
View old mayors

The history of Kastav dates back to prehistoric times. There is a valuable archaeological site - an Illyrian necropolis - found in the Mišinci karst valley.     

It is not clear how Kastav gained its name. There are two versions – some believe its derived from the Celtic word kast (rock) while others say it is derived from the Latin word castellum (fort, castle).  

Valuable monuments that have been preserved until nowadays show the medieval life of the Kastav area. Among them are the town's Kaštel, the Municipal Loggia, the Volta (arched doorway), The Parish Church of Saint Jelena Križarica, Lokvina Square, the remains of the Crekvina and the Church of the Holy Trinity and numerous ornaments embedded in the nucleus of the town.

Number of books attest to the rich history of Kastav. The town is mentioned in all the important editions that deal with the history of Croatia.
