Dakovo

Đakovo combines the steady pace of a Slavonian town with the scale of an episcopal centre, a contrast that reflects its cultural position on the Pannonian Plain of eastern Croatia. The red-brick Cathedral Basilica of St Peter, built from 1866 to 1882 at the initiative of Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, dominates the central square and is the city’s defining landmark. Đakovo is also closely associated with Lipizzaner horses: the State Stud Farm Đakovo maintains a local breeding tradition, with facilities in Đakovo and nearby Ivandvor. The surrounding Slavonian plain is largely agricultural, while the city hosts the annual Đakovački vezovi folklore festival.
