Clotilde Marie von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld

Born in France in 1846, she married Archduke Joseph Karl of Austria, with whom she had seven children. The couple lived for some time in Rijeka, as owners of the present-day State Archives Building. As a mark of respect, Ivan Skomerža, member of an enterprising local fishing family, named Crikvenica’s first hotel the ARCHDUCHESS CLOTILDA. Ulica Clotilde (Clotilda Street) is the City of Rijeka’s tribute to the archduchess, who died in 1927 in Alcsút, Hungary.
