Fortress

Tvrđa is one of the best-preserved 18th-century baroque fortresses in Europe — a walled riverside quarter built by the Habsburgs on the ruins of an Ottoman citadel after the Great Turkish War. Cobbled squares, the Plague Column, the Jesuit Church of St Michael and countless student bars fill its perfectly-rectangular grid. Walk the Drava embankment at dusk when the yellow façades turn honey-gold.

Cathedral
