Slavonski Brod

Slavonski Brod extends along the northern bank of the Sava River, featuring a mix of residential neighborhoods and industrial zones at 92 meters elevation.

The settlement, known as Marsonia during Roman times, served as a crucial river crossing point and developed into a fortified center by the 13th century.

The Baroque-style Brod Fortress houses exhibitions of regional artifacts and hosts the annual Brodsko Kolo folklore festival displaying traditional dance performances.

The central train station connects travelers to Zagreb and other major Croatian cities, while the nearby border crossing leads to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Djuro Djakovic industrial complex manufactures specialized machinery and military equipment, contributing significantly to the local economy since the 1920s.
