Varazdin

Varaždin Essentials

Varaždin, the former capital of Croatia, is a preserved example of Central European Baroque urbanism. The city's core features a dense collection of aristocratic palaces, including the Patačić, Erdödy, and Drašković residences, alongside significant religious structures like the 17th-century Cathedral and the Ursuline Church. Its historic center is defined by the 16th-century Town Hall and the grand Croatian National Theatre, reflecting the city’s cultural and political prominence during the 18th century.
