This leafy river town 54km (32 miles) and less than an hour from Zagreb has all the right elements to stand out as a model of baroque architecture and clever city planning. However, war and neglect have left their marks, and many of Karlovac's treasures are crumbling and in deplorable condition. The city of Karlovac was established by the Austro-Hungarians in 1579 as a military installation to defend against the encroaching Turks, and because of its strategic position between the Kupa and the Korana rivers and its proximity to the Mreznica and Dobra rivers, Karlovac has been on the front line of battles spanning 4 centuries.
