Valpovo Attractions

|
Valpovo was established by the Romans, who built a fort here known as Lovallia. A castle was built here during the Middle Ages which was owned by several families prior to the Turkish conquest. During the time of the conquest the castle was used as a fort, and following the departure of the Turks, was once again granted to a private family. Today, following many changes to the original structure, the castle houses the Valpovo Museum (Muzej Valpovstine), with a furniture collection and archeological finds from the area. The grounds have been turned into park like setting. Also of interest in Valpovo is the Baroque church of Immaculate Conception.
