It is a pleasure to walk through the four centuries old history of Karlovac with an excellent guide. The church was built at the same time as the fort itself, with various parts added through the centuries, and is the very heart of the town’s spiritual life. It is also a part of the town’s religious heritage, and an unavoidable point for meeting history, people and one’s own self.
