I was thrilled to be invited along to the second part of Croatian National Tourism Board‘s #VisitSlavonia trip where I’d be introduced to a side of Slavonia that I’d never experienced before, many places on the itinerary I never knew existed. My husband, a very proud Dalmatinac was also in for the journey and we were both eager to expand our knowledge and experiences in Slavonia, along with 12 other bloggers and influencers from Europe.
Đakovo is the second largest town in the Osijek-Baraja County with a population of about 27,000 people. While the town has numerous religious monuments and motifs, Đakovo’s main cultural attraction is the Catherdral (Cathedral basilica of St. Peter) that is also visible as far as the highway as you pass the town from a distance. The Cathedral was opened in 1882, stands at 84 meters tall and 7 million bricks were used to create one of the most spectacular Cathedrals in Europe, inside and out. Right next door is the Bishops Palace.
Vukovar is a symbol of Croatia’s homeland war and fight for independence. Vukovar is also the city I was born in 31 years ago. Anytime I tell a Croatian person that I was born in Vukovar, they immediately sigh and say, “how wonderful.” It is wonderful because it’s a precious city and one dear to every Croat’s heart.
