| Town on the banks of four beautiful rivers was founded in 1579 and it was designed as an ideal Renaissance six-pointed star fort-town.
During the 16th and 17th century the town was ruled by military authorities. When the original purpose of the fort itself begun to fade away in the 18th century, the town started spreading into the suburban areas of the fort.
Karlovac is situated about 50 km south of Zagreb, at the crossroads of main road an-route from the midlands to the Adriatic Sea, and on the shortest route between Slovenia in the west and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the east.
From the former military fort centre, Karlovac has evolved into a town of transport and trade, with high cultural and educational standards. But above all, Karlovac remains mainly industrial town known for its metal industry, brewery, dairy plant and food industry. |
