About Karlovac

Karlovac is a city and municipality in principal Croatia. According to the National census held in 2011 populace of the settlement of Karlovac become fifty five,705. Karlovac is the administrative centre of Karlovac County. The metropolis is placed at the Zagreb-Rijeka highway and railway line, fifty six kilometres south-west of Zagreb and 130 km from Rijeka. The city become named after its founder, Charles II, Archduke of Austria. The German call Karlstadt or Carlstadt has passed through translation into different languages: in Hungarian it's far referred to as Karolyvaros, in Italian as Carlostadio, in Latin as Carolostadium, and in Kajkavian and Slovene as Karlovec.

The Austrians built Karlovac from scratch in 1579 with a purpose to strengthen their southern defences against Ottoman encroachments. The established order of a brand new city-citadel changed into a part of the deal between the Protestant the Aristocracy of Inner Austria and the archduke Charles II of Austria. In exchange for their non secular freedom the nobility agreed to finance the building of a new castle in opposition to the Ottoman Empire. It was founded as a six-pointed celebrity fort constructed at the Zrinski property close to the antique city of Dubovac on the confluence of the Kupa and Korana rivers.
