2025 Croatian Tourism - set of 2
Osijek, one of continental Croatia’s most attractive cities, is an essential gem of city tourism and the center of Slavonian hospitality. Its full event calendar throughout the year, which includes sporting, cultural, enogastronomic and economic events, has clearly positioned Osijek as a destination that one can always visit for a new reason.
Osijek’s Tvrđa Fortress
The Baroque Tvrđa, the oldest preserved part of Osijek, was built in the first half of the 18th century as a monumental military and civilian fortress. Designed according to the rules of lowland fortifications, it included a strong defense system, and today the northern parts of the walls with Vodena Vrata (Water Gate) – one of four original entrances – still stand.
The Co-cathedral of St. Peter and Paul
The neo-Gothic Co-cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, situated next to the main town square, is a symbol of Osijek and the second-tallest church in Croatia. It was built from 1894 to 1898 according to the designs of architect Franz Langenberg and at the initiative of Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer – a famous Croatian patron and native of Osijek.
