The fourth largest city in Croatia with a population of 114,616 in 2001.It is the largest city and the economic and cultural centre of the eastern Croatian region of Slavonia, as well as the administrative centre of Osijek-Baranja county. Situated on the right bank of the river of Drava, 22 km from the mouth of the river of Danube. The right bank is a bit higher and because of that it provides a good protection from floods, a suitable crossing over the river of Drava. In the area of today’s city there were several archaeological sites from different pre-historic periods and cultures from earlier Stone Age, over Copper and Bronze to the Iron Age.
Although the area of the city of Osijek was settled even in the pre-historic period, the first urban settlement was erected by the Romans. There are many archaeological findings and the items of a great natural, historic and artistic value-all of them are kept in Osijek Museum that was founded in the year 1877.
