Karlovac history
The city was built and has been kept till the present day as an ideal
Renaissance city and a hexagonal bastioned fortress with the rectangular plan of the city streets. As such, Karlovac represents a rare example of such layout among European cities. From the day of its foundation up to now Karlovac has been developing in the direction of its roads connecting Europe with the Adriatic ports. The historic roads Karolina, Josefina and
Lujzijana in the past as well as nowadays have provided it with the importance of being the trade and traffic center settled between the plains of Slavonia and the ports on the Croatian coast.
Life in Karlovac
Karlovac was built and designed to suit a man’s needs: tucked in the green valleys of four rivers, below the old town of Dubovac, in the hundred- year old gardens and promenades, crossed with bicycle paths and in the tradition of culture, sport, business, and trade. Such a city is a pleasure for everyone to live in; for children and youth, families, the elderly but also for people with special needs. Karlovac is a city hungry for knowledge, something recognized and valued particularly by the young who come to study there. Today its University gathers about 2000 students while high schools offer many attractive programs. It is also known as a city with the oldest Croatian music school, the city theater “Zorin Dom”, museums and the city library “ Ivan Goran Kovacic”.
The Days of Beer and other celebrations
