Modruš, Medieval settlement in Karlovac County, Croatia.
Located at 400 meters above sea level, Modruš covers 43.9 square kilometers of terrain in the municipality of Josipdol, home to 125 residents.
The settlement rose to regional importance in the 12th century when the Frankopan family established control over the area, creating a strategic trade connection point.
The settlement maintains records of traditional Croatian family names including Gašparović, Jandrlić, Keser, and Antončić, representing generations of local heritage.
The Zagreb-Split motorway construction near Modruš created employment opportunities for residents, particularly in the development and maintenance sectors.
Archaeological findings reveal two distinct Illyrian Japod strongholds from the Bronze Age period, marking the earliest known settlements in this location.
