Orahovic Attractions

 
Present day Orahovic was established by Serbs around the Medieval fortress of Rosetta (Ruzica Grad), following the end of the Turkish occupation. The Rosetta fort, one of the largest of its kind in Croatia, is now a ruin. At one time its thick walls encompassed a military base, church, and the governors palace, but it was burnt by the Turks during the invasion. It was semi restored and used again for some time as a fort during the late 17th Century.

There are also a number of interesting places around Orahovic. Nearby Duzluk is home to the Monastery of St Nicholas (Manastir Sv Nikola). Another small village in the vicinity is Vocin, which was hit hard by the war in 1991.
