The terrain around Vukovar is a low, fertile plain beside the Danube and Vuka rivers, which has shaped both the town’s riverside form and local economy. Set in Croatia’s eastern borderland in Vukovar-Srijem County, the city stands at the Vuka’s confluence with the Danube, one of Europe’s great waterways. Its Baroque centre recalls the Habsburg-era rebuilding of the settlement, while Eltz Manor houses the Vukovar Municipal Museum. The Vukovar Water Tower, still visibly marked by shelling during the 1991 battle for the city, remains a powerful memorial to the Croatian War of Independence.
