History
The upland village of Modruš, once seat of a bishopric, sits below the ruins of a Frankopan castle and looks over the wooded Mala Kapela range. A quiet slice of history very few travellers see, on the old road between Zagreb and Senj.
“In 1493, before the fatal Battle of Krbava Field, the Croatian nobility gathered here — Modruš was for a brief moment the political capital of Croatia.”
