Petrinja

Located at an elevation of 106 meters near the Kupa River, Petrinja extends across the central Croatian region, 30 miles southeast of Zagreb.

The town's first written record dates to 1240, followed by the construction of an Ottoman fortress by the Kupa River in 1592.

The Church of St. Lawrence, constructed in 1781, stands as a central religious monument while traditional pottery making continues through generations.

The Gavrilović food production facility remains the primary employer in Petrinja, maintaining economic stability despite regional challenges.

The December 2020 earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale transformed the town's landscape, leading to a comprehensive reconstruction program.
