HISTORICAL OVERVIEW






The history of Osijek goes back to Neolithic times
In 331, the Roman emperor Hadrian raised the old
settlement of Mursa to a colony with special privileges.
After migrating, the Croats made a settlement near the
ruins of Mursa, giving it its resent name, Osijek.
Life was thriving here in the Middle Ages, but only
traces of that life can be found today, because the Turks
destroyed everything they found and built a town to suit
their style. The Turks built Suleiman the Magnificent’s
famous 8 km-long wooden bridge, considered to be one of
the wonders of the world.
After liberation from the Turks in 1687, Osijek was once
again completely devastated. Between 1712 and 1721,
the new Austrian authorities built a new fortress, today
known as Tvrđa.
Osijek was heavily damaged during the Homeland War,
1991-1995.
