Nikola Tesla Memorial Centre

Northern Dalmatia

LoginSave

It's extraordinary to think that one of the greatest minds of the modern world came from such a peaceful and obscure place as the tiny village of Smiljan, 5km west of Gospi膰. Yet it was here that Nikola Tesla 鈥 the man responsible for bringing electricity into our homes and inventing wireless technology 鈥 was born. This fascinating museum includes displays about his life and working replicas of some of his most famous inventions.

Tesla's father was a Serbian Orthodox priest and, sadly, the family house, barn and church on this site were torched during the 1990s war. What stands here today is a reconstruction, financed by the Croatian government.
