Discover the City on Four Rivers!
Located at the confluence of four rivers and at the junction of important routes, Karlovac is a city rich in history and cultural heritage. Originally a fortress built in 1579 in the shape of a six-pointed star, it once served a defensive purpose, while today it is a charming town full of parks, promenades, gardens, and tree-lined avenues, offering attractive events and activities throughout the year. The Dubovac hillfort, the central fortress portion known as the ‘Star’, Aquatika (a freshwater aquarium), the Karlovac Museum of the Homeland War in Turanj, the Nikola Tesla Experience Center, the Edison Cinema, and the traditional excursion boat ‘Žitna Lađa’ are just some of the highlights that delight our visitors.
