We loved it

“We were on tour and had a couple of days off. We stayed for four days in Osijek and we couldn't had find a better place for us (4 people) to stay in. Very nice host and nice location with only a few minutes walk to the center of the city. If we ever come back to Osijek, this would probably be the place for us! / REPAY”

Osijek-Tvrđa-Baroque Embodied

At the very beginning of the 18th century, die town and market of Osijek found themselves newly awoken in the Baroque period. On August, 1712, under the watchful eye of General Johann Stephan Baron von Beckers, construction of Tvrđa began, modelled after Dutch military fortifications. Even though the only part still remaining of the old cultural, commercial and military multiethnic Esseg is the northern fragment with the “Vodena vrata” (“Water (rate”), the Baroque treasure preserved to this day speaks volumes of the glory and glamour of old.

Even though the only part still remaining of the old cultural, commercial and military multiethnic Esseg is the northern fragment with the “Vodena vrata” (“Water (rate”), the Baroque treasure preserved to this day speaks volumes of the glory and glamour of old. Overlooking the cobble stone road, museums, galleries, grammar schools and faculties, there are the Saints Sebastian, Roch, Rosalia and Catherine, looking down, almost like night watchmen, from the Holy Trinity Votive Monument to the Plague (1730), together with the winged Archangel, patron saint of the Church of Saint Michael. The Franciscan Monastery, which nowadays welcomes and provides venues for cultural events, still testifies of the first Slavonian faculty of Philosophy and Theology (1735).
