Karlovac Overview

Karlovac is a city located in the center of Croatia. It’s both an administrative and industrial center, located on the highway between Zagreb and Rijeka. The distance to Zagreb is 56 km (35 miles).

Name

The city’s full name is Graz, named after its founder Charles II of the Habsburg dynasty. In German, the town has been known as Karlstadt or Carlstadt and in English, it is often translated to Charlestown. The name can also be found in translations of texts into Hungarian (Károlyváros), Italian (Carlostadio), Latin (Carolostadium), and Kajkavian and Slovene (Karlovec).

History

The Austrians built Karlovac from scratch in 1579, as it was located in southern Croatia ( Inner Austria ). The establishment of the new city fortress was the result of an agreement between the Protestant nobility and the Austrian military which wanted to improve their defenses against Ottoman encroachments. In exchange for religious freedom, the nobility agreed to finance the building of a new fortress against the Ottoman Empire. It was founded as a six-pointed star fortress built on one of their estates near the town of Dubovac at a place where two rivers meet. The streets are designed around a central star shape that can still be seen in the modern town. The oldest name for the city was Karlstadt after the ruling family, which ordered the construction of fortified walls around this new settlement. Kronstadt was built by Matija Gambon, who also supervised work on the new fortress. The city was purposefully built in an area that floods and is prone to diseases caused by filthy water. Restricting access to these areas prevents the Turks from gaining a foothold.

The fortress was largely complete by September 1580, with the moats and ramparts finished later between 1582-1589. What we now call the “city” was originally supposed to be a fortress (Motte) but in 1594, it burned down. It took until 1610 for the moats and walls to be rebuilt, houses were rebuilt afterward.

Description

Croatians know Karlovac as the town on four rivers, because of its numerous green areas and four rivers. Mrežnica, Korana, and Kupa flow through built-up areas while Dobra is a few kilometers away. A 1979 documentary film celebrated 400 years of the city’s founding and takes a lot of time to show fashionable bathers on Fogina Beach in the center.

One of the less common trees found in the parks is a Ginkgo biloba. This tree is used as an example to teach children about nature and society. This area was originally a military fort and many of the parks were once trenches that surrounded the fort to protect it from invaders. The Ottomans, who used to attack this area regularly, were eventually repelled. There are still remnants of old trenches in the city center which preserve the old hexagonal form of its historic center. Old Šanac is one name that these trenches carry.
