Let's start from the central, Ante Starcevic Square, located in the Upper Town, administrative and business centre of Osijek. Most buildings date from the late 19th and early 20th century. |
The part of the bigest city park (Osijek has always been considered a green city) with a beautiful pedestrian bridge accross Drava, and skyline of the Upper Town in the background.
|
| Here is the biggest church in Osijek, consecrated to SS Peter and Paul. Although it is only a parish curch (the "real" chatedral for this region is located in Djakovo), it is called the chatedral because of its size (90 metres high) and monumentality. It was built at the end of 19th century in neo-Gothic style. The bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer especially supported its construction.
