Sisak
Experience a city rich in historical and cultural heritage!
Sisak – a city situated at the confluence of three rivers: the Kupa, Sava, and Odra, living with them in the legend of fairy love for over 2,000 years. Archaeological remains testify to the presence of Illyrian tribes, conquered by the Celts, who were later subdued by the Romans in 35 BC. The Romans built the new Roman city of Siscia.
Discover the medieval Sisak and witness the resistance of Christians against the Ottoman invasion, including the famous Battle of Sisak in the 16th century.
The Kupa River, the longest national river in Croatia, flows through the city center. Downstream from Sisak, the river is navigable, and the city’s history is inseparable from it. Dominating the Kupa is the Old Bridge – a visual symbol of Sisak, one of the city’s most prominent landmarks, and a valuable piece of cultural heritage.
Not far from Sisak lies the unique European Nature Park Lonjsko Polje, known for its architectural heritage, with villages featuring distinctive architecture, such as Čigoč and Krapje.
If you are a passionate nature and water enthusiast, come and enjoy hunting, fishing, or the thrill of canoeing. Experienced cyclists exploring Croatia’s many cycling routes often highlight that some of the most beautiful routes pass through the Lonjsko Polje Nature Park.
