Valorizacija
Grad Mali Lošinj smješten je na jugoistočnom kraju prostranog i dobro zaštićenog zaljeva. Grad nastaje kao i obližnje naselje Veli Lošinj krajem 13. i početkom 14. stoljeća. U početku su bili podvrgnuti gradu Osoru. Krajem srednjeg i početkom novog vijeka slabi moć Osora i Mali Lošinj se krajem 17., a poglavito u 18. stoljeću počinje sve više razvijati zahvaljujući pomorstvu. Nakon pada Venecije 1797., i pod upravom Austrije čitavo 19. stoljeće sve više prosperira kao brodograditeljski, pomorski, a krajem 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća i turistički centar na Kvarneru.
