Cultural and historical monuments of Osijek

Grad Osijek bogat je kulturno – povijesnim spomenicima ponajviše iz razdoblja baroka (17. stoljeće i prva polovica 18. stoljeća), klasicizma (druga polovica 18. stoljeća) te secesije (kraj 19. stoljeća). Budući da je Tvrđa izgrađena u doba baroka, najviše baroknih kulturno – povijesnih spomenika nalazi se upravo u Tvrđi poput zgrade Glavne komande, zgrade Glavne straže, crkve Uzvišenja svetog Križa, zavjetnog stupa svetog Trojstva, župne crkve svetog Mihaela Arkanđela i slično. Kulturno – povijesni spomenici u Gornjem gradu izgrađeni su u secesijskom (kino Urania, kino Europa), baroknom (Kapucinska crkva svetog Jakova i samostan, kapela svetog Roka), neogotičkom (konkatedrala svetog Petra i Pavla) i stilu talijanske renesanse (palača Normann). U Donjem gradu dominiraju kulturno – povijesni spomenici baroknog (crkva Preslavnog Imena Marijina, kuća Kragujević – Mitrović, pravoslavna crkva Uspenja Presvete Bogorodice) te neogotičkog stila (kapela Gospe Snježne). Dvorac Pejačević koji se nalazi u Retfali izgrađen je u barokno – klasicističkom stilu. Budući da grad Osijek osim brojne kulturne baštine ima i dobru prometnu povezanost postoji potencijal za turističkim razvojem grada.The city of Osijek is rich in cultural and historical monuments, mostly from the Baroque period (17th century and the first half of the 18th century), Classicism (second half of the 18th century) and Art Nouveau (late 19th century). Since the Fortress was built in the Baroque era, most Baroque cultural and historical monuments are located in the Fortress, such as the Main Command building, the Main Guard building, the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the votive pillar of the Holy Trinity and the parish church of St. Michael the Archangel. Cultural and historical monuments in the Upper town were built in Art Nouveau (Urania Cinema, Europa Cinema), Baroque (Capuchin Church of St. James and Monastery, Chapel of St. Roch), Neo - Gothic (Conchatedral of St. Peter and Paul) and Italian Renaissance Style (Normann Palace). The Lower Town is dominated by cultural and historical monuments of the Baroque (Church of the Glorious Name of Mary, the Kragujevic – Mitrovic House, the Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin) and the Neo – Gothic style (Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows). Pejacevic Castle, located in Retfala, was built in the Baroque – Classicist style. Since the city of Osijek, in addition to numerous cultural heritage, also has good transport connections, there is potencial for tourist development of the city
